Ghost Stories like Leigh Howard and the Ghosts of Simmons-Pierce Manor is not the topic for today's Cruise Challenge. I wrote a story about a teenager who team up with a ghost with multiple personalities to solve the mystery of her parent's murder in #leighhowardandtheghosts . The story went viral thanks to tiktoker internetfamouslol, Jarred and that has led me to talk to you about ghosts in Budapest. Budapest is where the river cruise sails from and Budapest is home to legendarily haunted Buda labryinth underneath Buda Castle. It's where Vlad the Impaler, inspiration for Dracula was reported to be imprisoned. So when you join the cruise in the fall, you too can visit Buda Castle before we set sail along the Danube. Check out the cruise for yourself! https://sailawaygrouptravel.com/danube-shawn-warner/ #cruise #cruisechallenge #danube #danuberivercruise #danubecruisechallenge #danubeadventure2024 #danubedreams #budapest #ghost #paranormal #ghoststory #paranormal #writer #reader #youngadultbook #homelandinsecurity #booklover #ghostadventures #ghostbook #horror #fyp

For the love of reading... This is who I am - a lover of action and adventure stories to put reading back on the map of FUN stuff to do. I wrote an action adventure story about a group of teens dreaming of becoming spies, who get tangled up with an international terrorist, WHOOPS!. Think Alex Rider meets the teamwork of Stranger Things, mixed with some Mythbusters, Inheritance Games and who James Bond might have been like a kid. If you think that's wild, check out my first book: a story of a teenage girl who teams up with a ghost with multiple personalities to solve the mystery of her parents' murder in Leigh Howard and the Ghosts of Simmons-Pierce Manor. Both books are on sale on my shop if you want a signed copy with bookish merch. ##yabooks #yabook #yabookstagram #yafiction #spy #spyfamily #spybook #espionage #youngadultbook #mythbusters #booklover #booknerd #bookworm #authorsofinstagram #shawnwarner #yathrillers #spybooks #inheritancegames #yabooks #youngadultbooks #anthonyhorowitz #youngthrillerlit #youngadultlit #bookaholics #bookgram #bookishthings #booktok #instareads #fyp

#askshawn You're never too old to follow your dreams. I dreamed of writing stories since I was a little kid- maybe six or seven. My mom used to read me adventure stories about a boy and his horse. That's when I tried to write my first story. The adults and teachers in my life said I wrote really great stories, but that I couldn't make a living at it. Since I was already struggling in school with undiagnosed dyslexia I gave up my dreams of writing. A little over 15 years ago I started taking it seriously enough to start learning more about the craft, joining critique groups and continuing to read (slowly). I found a publisher who believed in my work and let my story get published, Leigh Howard and the Ghosts of Simmons-Pierce Manor, a story of a teenage girl who teams up with a ghost with multiple personalities to solve the mystery of her parents' murder. That became a best-seller so now my next story, is set to release June 4th - Homeland Insecurity, about a group of teens who battle an international terrorist bent on revenge. If you like Mythbusters, Alex Rider, Inheritance Games, Stranger Things and the adventures of Percy Jackson, give Homeland Insecurity a try. Most of all, DON'T EVER give up on your dreams. #yabooks #yabook #yabookstagram #yafiction #ireadya #ireadyalit #espionage #spy #spyfamily #spybook #espionage #youngadultbook #homelandinsecurity #langleyirregulars #booklover #booknerd #bookworm #authorsofinstagram #shawnwarner #yathrillers #spybooks #inheritancegames #mythbusters #strangerthings #alexrider #anthonyhorowitzfan #percyjackson #fyp

What is your boat MUST HAVE? If you haven't booked your cabin yet - what are you waiting for? This IS a trip of a lifetime and before you say "I can't afford it." I want you to consider what would be different about you if you said "I can afford this." If you say "I WILL join you on this cruise", it will cost you roughly $15 to $25 a day from now until we sail. You CAN afford that. Check out Challenge Day 6 and 9 to see ways you CAN make this trip happen. I will be doing an EXCLUSIVE pre-cruise writers workshop for anyone who books a cruise with us, plus when the time comes for us to cruise together we'll get to talk in person, become friends and travel together. Don't let this once in a lifetime opportunity pass you by. Your dreams can come true. I am proof of that.
