Doug Shear

Doug Shear is a writer & performer who lives in Miami Florida in an old house surrounded by trees, plants, birds, lizards, squirrels & the occasional iguana.

His first book, Rhubarb Culture, was one of the first ever published in both paperback and Print on Demand. His first play, Saint Peter at the Gate, was produced in Toronto, Canada & Boca Raton, Florida.

His first wife still puts up with him.

Doug also wrote and performed, "A Loophole in Law of Karma" at the Life Out Loud event in Ybor City, Fl. and "Nitro and Glycerin" at the Actor's Playhouse in Coral Gables, Fl.

To blow off steam, he sometimes performs stand-up at seedy local clubs that he would never visit as a patron. Sometimes the audience loves him. Other times he bombs.

His work has also appeared in the Miami Herald, Miami New Times, and the Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine.
