Hello!

I am B. R. Shaffer, author, editor-for-hire, English major, fiction lover, and mother of 3 amazing daughters…

Welcome to my page.

I first started this site as an online portfolio to attract fiction lovers like myself, especially those who are into the scifi, paranormal, romance, and horror genres. I also hope to inspire other authors who are just starting out. I am currently working on my book Side Effects and hope to have it on shelves in 2023.

Are you an aspiring author looking for advice and help, are you wanting to learn more about writing and editing, or do you just have questions about my work or the genres I write in? If so, feel free to contact me with your questions and I will do my best to answer them using my 30+ years experience. I also occasionally upload articles where I share some of my expertise and let you experience my own personal journey of becoming an author. This field can be confusing and treacherous. Just remember we are all in this together, so hang in there!

Before you continue, let me first ask…

Are you bored and looking for entertainment to get your mind off your busy life? Do you need a break from reality? If so, then stick around and check out some of my random works of fiction! I write flash fiction, short stories, long stories, and poetry. I will also be giving sneak peaks and updates on my new book Side Effects. Be one of the first to know when it’s released and use this chance to get to know some of my characters beforehand so you can fall in love and understand their individual motivations and flaws. I will also be holding a drawing to give out a free early release copy of Side Effects to a small number of fans, so stay tuned for that!

If you are interested in hiring me to do freelance work, feel free to reach out and I will send you an individualized quote.

Until then…

Pull up a chair, and kick off those shoes, let yourself get settled in. It’s time to relax, but not too much for your own sake… get ready for a journey that will take you into another reality. No, this isn’t Twilight Zone exactly, but another twisted version of fiction that contains screams, flings, and otherworldly beings! Let yourself get immersed in the wonderful and sometimes scary world of scifi horror fiction!

Trigger Warning: Some of the stories you are about to read could contain sexual content, mental health disorders, violence, twisted psychopaths and unearthly beings, so be prepared for jump scares and chills, and having your heartbroken as you enter into my own personal world of fiction and what some might consider the other side of hell.

Enjoy your read!
