Shandon Loring is a citizen of many virtual worlds, and as the original “Seanchai” at Seanchai Library at its founding in 2008, holds the title “Chief Storyteller.”  With hundreds of hours of virtual world storytelling to his credit, Shandon is well know for his presentations of  Myths and Legends (especially of Celtic origin), Gothic authors such as Joseph Sheridan LeFanu and H.P. Lovecraft, as well as adventures in Science Fiction and Fantasy.  His belief is in the power of a good story, told well, and as a result he refuses to be limited by genre or form.  Along with fellow Seanchai Lead, Caledonia Skytower, Shandon is committed to exploring virtual platforms as a way to craft increasingly immersive experiences in literature and storytelling.
