Shelter Somerset enjoys writing about the lives of gay and bisexual men who live off the land, whether they be the Amish, nineteenth-century pioneers, or modern-day idealists seeking to live apart from the crowd. Shelter's fascination with the rustic, aesthetic lifestyle began as a child with family camping trips into the Blue Ridge Mountains. When not back home in Illinois writing, Shelter continues to explore America's expansive backcountry and rural communities. Shelter's philosophy is best summed up by the actor John Wayne: "Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway."
