Let's Start From the Beginning, Shall We?
This project, known as The Chimera Snare series, is the brainchild of Shannon E.M. Vierra. It all started with a short nap on an early morning train ride into San Francisco for work. The daydream brought forth a vision of two otherworldly beings with intertwined destinies yet could not reach each other. At first, this prompted an idea for a short story that carried with it the intention of bringing it into an animated format. This eventually evolved into crafting the idea into a full-fledged novel. Over many years and through several ideations, Shannon's writing efforts led to the creation of the first book of the series, called Fragments. The first version of the story was first self-published in 2015.
