During Shane’s four-and-a-half years living in Kalgoorlie – the gold mining capital of Western Australia – he served on the Artgold committee for two years, and was nominated in the Literature category for the 2021 ARTGOLD AWARDS.
Shane’s one act play Remy & Jules – a modern, gender neutral, rock n’ roll adaptation of Romeo & Juliet – had its World Premiere being performed by Boulder’s Stage Left Theatre Group in May and July 2022.
In August 2022 Shane was awarded second place in the Boulder 125th Anniversary Short Story competition with his entry Rourke’s Find.

Entrants were asked to write a short story under two thousand words using this photo as a prompt. Perhaps Shane will publish it his next anthology of short stories?
