Shane Simmons is best known for his graphic novels, The Long and Unlearned Life of Roland Gethers and its sequel, The Failed Promise of Bradley Gethers, which have been published in multiple countries in multiple languages to great acclaim and few dollars. To pay the bills, he writes for television, mostly animation. When he’s not scripting innocuous cartoons for children, he spends his time writing grim comedy, violent crime and troubling horror stories to relax and unwind. He lives in Montreal with his wife and too many cats.
