About Author
S. F. Shaw
As a storyteller, narrative builder, and articulate communicator, S. F. Shaw knows how to transform emotions into captivating words that mesmerize every heart. However, these skills did not emerge overnight. The hardships he endured during early teenage years forced him into solitude, compelling him to channel his struggles into written expression. There was no one to listen; until he decided to make his voice heard.
Shaw’s journey began with victories in multiple English declamation contests, where his forceful voice and engaging narratives left a lasting impression. An emotional soul at heart, he wrote ballads and poems to express his innermost feelings. He is a Computer Science graduate who currently works as a Professional Content Writer in the IT world. However, his love for storytelling, fantasy worldbuilding, and literature has grown stronger over time.
He now wants to put life into his emotions through “Imaginative Worlds of Shaw,” a universe of uniquely crafted fantasy realms, each with its own unique story.

Guardians Against the Forbidden World
Book 2: From Myth They Rise
Release Date: Summer 2026
By S. F. Shaw
After surviving the cruelties of mankind, Sam, Naira, and Gobi believed the northern silence had granted them refuge. But far beyond the frozen hills, something ancient begins to stir; creatures once confined to myth, now tearing through the veil that held them back for centuries.
The blood-drinking creatures emerge from the shadows of mist, and the cursed kingdom awaken from the edge of the world where their gods once cast away.
Myths do not rise without purpose. Something older than darkness itself is calling; and the guardians must choose to reunite beneath the breaking skies or vanish as legends of a fallen world.

God of Dark Science
Book 1: The Divine Source
Release Date: Winter 2026
By S. F. Shaw
He was a man of logic, code, and precision; a Senior Software Engineer whose life revolved around algorithms and deadlines. But when a fatal diagnosis shatters his world, he escapes into the wilderness, searching for silence before the end.
There, deep within the mountains, he discovers something the human mind was never meant to witness; a cavern older than civilization, and source that bends nature itself. What flows within heart heals more than flesh… it alters destiny.
His return ignites a chain of events that no science can explain, and no faith can fully accept. As the world moves on, a legacy is quietly born. A legacy that will challenge the meaning of creation, consciousness, and God himself.
From the Imaginative Worlds of Shaw comes a cinematic tale of discovery, divinity, and the first spark of a darkness yet to come.

His work is cinematic, emotional, and immersive, blending poetic rhythm with visual storytelling that makes readers feel every scene as if they’re living it.
