My name is F.C. Shultz.

• I sold my first short story, about a bully with a magic eight ball, to everydayfiction.com. I am forever grateful.

• My first book, about a dragon who attacks a viking village every ten years, was published in 2017 (see all published work here).

• I wrote a novella about some kids who find a mysterious box on the beach in the late 50s; it was published in 2018.

• The sea-faring, fire-breathing sequel to my first book was published in 2019.

• My debut poetry collection was released in 2020. We recorded a video poetry reading to celebrate.

• I’m the poetry editor for The Joplin Toad, and I’ve had a blast publishing so many wonderful local poets.
