    Zada Kent

    Zada Kent is an author of fiction and nonfiction who grew up in a small mundane town in Ohio. To avert death-by-boredom she allows the creepy, unexplainable, and horrific possibilities in life flood her imagination with stories. By writing them down she shares them with the world. Her transgender teenager also keeps her from drowning in eternal monotony by introducing her to new perspectives on life and staving off the ordinary by adding daily shenanigans. Zada tries to share all the laughing and crying her transgender teen experiences in an attempt to educate others. So between her creepy imagination and the drama of her teenaged son's life this writer is enjoyably engaged and willing to write it all down. Zada's currently working on her first paranormal thriller that sparked from a nightmare as well as a nonfiction book co-authored by her son sharing their experiences of transgender acceptance and transformation.

      SHADOW

      ––––––––

      I think I was about eight when I realized my shadow didn't always do everything I did. Sometimes it moved differently than me. I've never been afraid of my shadow, but I've seen others horrified by it.

      I called it Shadow because it looked like a shadow when other people were around. When I was alone, though, it came out to play with me.
