Shaye Marie Thompson is a storyteller whose passion lies in sharing true experiences and the lessons that life leaves behind. Through her writing, she invites readers into deeply personal moments from her life — moments of struggle, survival, fear, courage, hope, and resilience.

Shaye does not describe herself as an author seeking literary fame. Instead, she sees herself as a storyteller with a desire to preserve real experiences and ensure that the stories of her life are not forgotten. Her writing reflects her belief that every person has a story worth telling and that even the most difficult chapters can hold meaning.

Throughout her life, Shaye has held firmly to one important belief: never give up on yourself. She believes in the power of taking small leaps of courage, stepping outside of your comfort zone, embracing what makes you different, and continuing forward even when life becomes challenging.

Through What’s That Flower I Have On, Shaye shares stories from her life with honesty, vulnerability, and courage. Her hope is that readers will find connection within her experiences and be reminded to hold on to hope, keep moving forward, and allow their own unique stories to continue unfolding.

Shaye believes that every challenge eventually passes and that a new day can always bring another opportunity to find your light. Most importantly, she hopes to remind readers that they are valuable, their experiences matter, and their stories are worth remembering.
