“This is a great read, and you deserve the chance to read it, too.”
- Tana French (New York Times Bestselling author of The Likeness & In The Woods)
Welcome to the official website of author Johnny Shaw. My debut crime novel DOVE SEASON will be released in paperback and on Kindle by AmazonEncore on September 13, 2011.
The book is set down where I grew up on the Calexico/Mexicali border in the Imperial Valley desert of southern California. When writing the book, I found the international border to be a rich setting for conflict and character, and I developed a story that could only be set in this unique environment.
DOVE SEASON was a General Fiction finalist in the 2010 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award (ABNA) competition.
I hope to add content to this site regularly, so please keep checking back for information about my books, appearances, and free stuff. And feel free to contact me. I’d love to hear from you.
