Hi, I'm Sharkiat, full-time writer and keeper of guinea pigs. 


I've been writing for several years, mostly fantasy, but also the occasional piece of poetry.

I draw inspiration from traveling and love exploring foreign cultures. Usually, I set out wanting to write something inspirational like The Alchemist or The Slow Regard of Silent Things, but unfortunately, most of my stories take a darker turn. So if that's your thing, check out some of my stuff here, or have a look at my website. Free short story for anyone who signs up to my newsletter: https://susanneschmidt.me/newsletter/subscribe

Happy reading!
