My official bio (you know, the third person one!)

CORY SHAW is an author-illustrator who aspires to passionate storytelling punctuated with moody and introspective art. He likes to twist the mundane into something whimsical and memorable. When not writing or painting, he devises ways to outsmart foxes, discovers the best hiding spots along nature trails, and encourages bunnies to scurry out from under the brush.

Cory lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he shares his home with three cubs, a mama bear, and two pups.
