Poet, magician, escape artist, sideshow stunt performer, TV and movie producer. Shawn Ness has done things some only dream about and the rest would never contemplate.

There is only one thing left for him to do in life.... give back. He plans to do this through Journey to 1000. Journey to 1000 will raise funds for Take Back The Night by selling 1000 copies of his book titled ...and yet you continue to provoke the night. 100% of the author royalties will be donated all in memory of Nicole Joslyn and Alan Lowrie.

His poetry has appeared in 45 South, From The Mountain Top and Poetry’s Elite: The Best Poets of 2000.

Shawn lives in Fond du Lac, WI with his wife, stepson and daughter.
