We are pleased to announce that Shawn Inmon has joined the staff of Indies Unlimited as a contributing author.
Shawn is the author of ten titles including Rock ‘n Roll Heaven, Feels Like the First Time, Lucky Man, and the Second Chance Series. His stories also appear in a number of anthologies. Two of his novels have been translated into Spanish and Italian.
In addition to writing, Shawn has experience in a number of different fields including real estate, radio broadcasting, hamburgers, and business consulting. This combination makes Shawn a perfect fit for Indies Unlimited, as we are always fighting over the music on the iPod, and how to say gruel in Spanish.
A true dynamo with over 600 reviews on his first novel which was published just over two years ago, we look forward to learning much from Shawn. Please welcome him to the IU family.
Welcome, Shawn! I look forward to your insights!
Wonderful, and thank you. 🙂 I have lots of things I am looking forward to writing about.
Mmmm. Hamburgers. With bacon, too?
I’m really looking forward to learning how not to wither away in obscurity. Glad to have you here, Shawn! 🙂
Quick story. Being a burger flipper was my very first job, and an early lesson in human behavior. I applied for a job at a small place with the odd name of “The Mini Mall” in Seward, Alaska. (It was kind of mini, but not a mall in any way.) I was 14, but tall for my age. The man who interviewed me told me I had to be 16 to cook there and asked me how old I was. “16, sir,” I lied. He said, “I am going to make a call and verify that you really are 16. I’ll be back in ten minutes.” He left me to stew in the juices of my own dishonesty. Ten minutes later, as promised, he returned and said, “Okay, you check out. You can start tomorrow.” I learned two important lessons that day: How to cook a burger without drying it out, and that adults lied, just like kids. I still remember both of them. 🙂
That wasn’t a lie. That was fiction. 😉
Yes, a budding author, even then. I like the way you think.
Welcome on board, Shawn. I also have experience in the hamburger industry. 🙂
I feel so bad when I think of my first victims… err, customers. I wish I could track them down and give them a free copy of one of my books to make up for the damage I did to their taste buds.
Welcome Shawn. Look forward to your contributions. I have no experience in the hamburger industry, but like Wimpy, I love burgers. 🙂
Thank you, Charles. I am not unlike Wimpy myself. I would gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamburger today. 🙂
Welcome, Shawn! Look forward to reading all your pearls of wisdom. Now I’m hungry; gotta go see if I have any hamburger!
All this talk of burgers has done the same to me! Thanks for the welcome, Melissa!
Welcome, Shawn! Bacon on mine, please? And maybe some in the gruel? 😀
Mmmmmm. Bacon Flavored Gruel. It must be Friday!
Welcome aboard. Glad to have you here.
Thank you, RJ. I might be bugging you for post ideas before too long. 🙂
Welcome, Shawn. I have a feeling you’ll improve the culinary experience for the minions. Looking forward to your posts.
I have improved with practice, so I hope you’re right. I love your optimism!
Welcome, Shawn. As long as we continue to give you a hard time you’ll know things are fine.
If that’s the case, then things are awesome! Does the new guy get a second helping of gruel with raisin sprinkles on his first day?
Weeellll, I don’t trust those raisins.
Or that bottle of bacon bits in the fridge. 😉
Welcome, Shawn! And now I’m hungry. 🙂
I know. Why couldn’t I have had a background as a vegan chef? (Mainly because I grew up on a farm, I suppose.)
Welcome onbord Shawn!
Thank you, Lilian! 🙂
Welcome Shawn! Looking forward to your posts!
Thank you, Patrick. I’m looking forward to thinking of some. Hoping inspiration will strike at any moment. 🙂
Welcome aboard, Shawn, keep in line in the gruel queue and you’ll do just fine.
Thank you. I promise to wait several weeks before I’ll even think of stepping out of line. 🙂
Welcome, Shawn! I’m looking forward to seeing your articles!
Thank you, Blaze. Awesome name for a character, by the way.
Thank you. I worked hard to come up with it.
A warm welcome, Shawn, to one of my favorite sites. I look forward to your posts and to learning more about you!.
It’s one of my favorite sites, as well, Linda. That’s why I am thrilled to be here. Thanks for the welcome!
Welcome, Shawn!
Thank you, Venkatesh!
Welcome Shawn to one of my favorite websites! I have learned so much from this site and I’m sure you will have lots more information to share with all of us gym rats. I may not participate in the gruel but I do love a hamburger here and there. Looking forward to finding out how you achieved your successes.
Welcome, Shawn! I could say something snarky, but I’ll save it for Tucson in March. 😀
I can hardly wait! Bring on the snark! 😉
Food, writing and humour – all the right boxes ticked! Welcome to IU, Shawn. 😀
Thank you, A.C. I am really looking forward to being part of this.
