About Shea:
Shea E. Butler is, at heart, a storyteller. She’s a storyteller in many different forms; a television writer, a published short story author and an award-winning director and writer for her short films and web series. She was that kid who huddled under the covers after “lights out” reading a book by flashlight. She was born in Cairo, Egypt to American parents living abroad and currently divides her time between Vancouver and Los Angeles. Her love for traveling and exploring worlds and cultures, both past, present and future was ignited at a young age. Shea’s most awe-inspiring trip was a horseback riding safari through the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Nothing like being charged by two lions to get your creative juices flowing! Website: www.thebutlerdiditproductions.com She also has a short story appearing on the SHORTZ phone app (chat stories) at end of January called “9-1-1.”
