Author bio
Shayne Silvers was born in Denver, Colorado, and grew up in the American Midwest, the kind of kid who always had a book in his hands and a few more stuffed in his backpack.
In fourth grade he wrote a short story that won a small publication prize, the first outside sign that all those hours spent reading epic fantasy might turn into something more than daydreaming. The win was small, but it gave him permission to keep scribbling, to see stories as something he could make instead of just consume.
As a young adult he bounced around the map, living in places like London, Miami, New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, and Kansas City. Somewhere in there, during a low point in college, he found himself working long days on a peach farm in Colorado and sleeping in a barn at night, picking fruit by day and writing by flashlight after dark. That is where the earliest version of a smart-mouthed wizard named Nate Temple began to take shape.
Silvers studied finance at Missouri State University and later worked as a commercial loan officer for a community bank in Missouri. He always knew he wanted to write for a living, but he also knew the odds, so he wrote in the margins of a very normal workday, drafting chapters on lunch breaks and late nights while handling spreadsheets and upset customers during the day.
That slow grind eventually produced Obsidian Son, the first Nate Temple novel, published in 2012. The book introduced readers to a foul-mouthed, dragon-dodging wizard who tries to protect St. Louis from the monsters, gods, and old stories that have slipped into the modern world. Readers responded to the mix of mythology, fast action, and dark humor, and the one book quickly grew into a long-running series set inside what fans now call the Templeverse.
As the Nate books grew more complex, Silvers realized the story was too big for one protagonist. He launched the Feathers and Fire novels about Callie Penrose, a Kansas City wizard who works for the Vatican Shepherds and keeps bumping up against questions of faith, free will, and what it means to be a hunter in the Bible Belt. Before long he was also co-creating the Phantom Queen Diaries with Cameron O'Connell, following Quinn MacKenna, a Boston black-magic arms dealer who is immune to most magic and has very bad luck with the Fae.
Alongside those intersecting series, he wrote the Shade of Devil books, which rewind history to follow Sorin Ambrogio, the so-called first vampire, into the modern day. In 2016 Silvers started his own publishing company, Argento Publishing, to handle his growing catalog and to help other fantasy writers find an audience. His work has reached major bestseller lists and earned Dragon Award finalist nods in 2017 and 2018, quiet markers that the risks he took on these stories were paying off.
Outside of the books, Silvers holds high-ranking black belts in both Taekwondo and Karate. He has a soft spot for Marvel stories, mythological oddities, and anything that lets him argue about what would really happen if gods, angels, and monsters walked into a bar. He has also collaborated on film projects such as the science-fiction short Infinity System, exploring what his worlds might look like on screen.
Most days, though, he keeps things simple. You are likely to find him in a Missouri coffee shop, headphones in, laughing at his own jokes while he pounds espresso and tries to make the next chapter a little stranger or more honest than the last. He lives in Missouri with his family and treats the ever-growing Templeverse as both a playground and a long conversation with readers who want their fantasy loud, fast, and just a little bit unhinged.
