J. R. Shane grew up in a broken and financially desperate household after the death of his father.

His mother struggled to hold their lives together and J. R. did all he could as a young man to help her.

Eventually the two became very close and relied heavily upon each other for love and support. His unique upbringing has formed the basis for many of his works involving family relationships.

J. R. Shane lives quietly along the coast of South Carolina where he enjoys blue skies, warm water, sandy beach, and a stiff Margarita in the evening.
