About Me
Shana Hammaker grew up in sunny California reading L.M. Montgomery and Stephen King. She also had a major case of wanderlust.
But while most people fantasize about traveling West, young Shana had her sights set on colder places: Prince Edward Island, or perhaps Bangor, Maine.

Ironically, Shana eventually settled someplace even warmer than California: Tennessee. And it was in this sultry Southern climate that Shana realized her destiny: to read and write stories in which people do horrendous things to one another.

Shana Writes Thrillers.

And in 2011, Shana will publish one short thriller per month!

Twelve Terrifying Tales for 2011!

NORTH OF FORKS by Shana Hammaker   
Twenty-year-old Washington native Sara Cullen had a vampire problem.

And before you even ask, NO she's not one of THOSE Cullens. But try telling that to the legions of lost bloodsuckers who wandered into her hometown of Beaver because they missed the exit for Forks. Vampires can be so stupid.

But soon another monster came to town that made the star struck vampires look like cute defenseless puppies. I'm talking about zombies. The zombie plague swept into, and quickly overwhelmed, Sara’s small town. Within days normal life ended. Within weeks there were more ghouls than humans. Finally, a mere three months after the start of the plague, Sara and her friend Jessie Sparks were the only live people left in their corner of Washington.

Or so they thought. But then a handsome stranger wandered into town, and everything Sara and Jessie thought they knew about life in post-zombie-apocalypse Beaver turned upside down.

NORTH OF FORKS is Book Two in Shana Hammaker's short thriller series Twelve Terrifying Tales for 2011.


CHARLIE by Shana Hammaker
When Alex fantasized about buying her dream home, she didn’t imagine it would include a regiment of reappearing corpses.

But that’s exactly what she got.

In CHARLIE, Alex Hutchinson buys the home she hopes she and her fiancé will start a family in. But unfortunately for her, family bliss isn’t in the cards. Instead she gets Charlie, the corpse who won’t stay away.

What’s a girl to do? Call the cops? Bury the bothersome stiff in the basement? Run away to Spain? Alex tries a little of everything as her rotting, unwanted visitor pops in with ever-increasing frequency and the fabric of her once-tidy life unravels around her.

CHARLIE is Book One of Shana Hammaker's monthly serial
Twelve Terrifying Tales for 2011.

CHARLIE is author Shana Hammaker’s debut short thriller.


BORDER CROSSING by Shana Hammaker
Michael Connally had it coming.

Mike was a San Diego native with a winning smile and a personal charm both politicians and gigolos would envy. But Mike wasn’t any kind of whore. He preferred the money and independence afforded him by smuggling guns across the border to Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel.

With that independence Mike pursued his true love: finding girls for his doll collection.

At the beginning of BORDER CROSSING we meet Julie, a feisty blonde who was by far Mike’s favorite doll. Julie vowed to take revenge on Mike, and despite the fact that when the story opens she was nothing but a decapitated head hidden in Mike’s trunk, Julie will get her revenge.

WARNING: BORDER CROSSING is a gruesome paranormal revenge thriller that will appeal to people who believe the sword beats the hell out of the pen in a real-world fight. If you prefer to solve your differences civilly, over a cup of tea perhaps, you might not enjoy Julie’s bloody triumph that is the finale of BORDER CROSSING.

BORDER CROSSING is book three in Shana Hammaker’s short thriller series Twelve Terrifying Tales for 2011.
