Shana Marlayna Chow
A multi-talented author and poet — pulling heartstrings through verse and captivating readers with psychological suspense. Two worlds, one unmistakable voice.
The
ADIX
Adrian Tames was six years old when the world stopped behaving normally. Words no longer sounded like words. They split open. Curled back. Revealed what lived beneath them. Every lie came with a vision — sharp, involuntary, undeniable.
Hidden within the folds of history lies an ancient bloodline born in Athens at the dawn of democracy — the ADIX, seekers of Truth, marked by a gift that exposes deception as clearly as memory. Their existence traces back to the gods themselves, to a bargain struck in the shadows of Greek mythology.
"Truth is not philosophical. It is visceral, intrusive, and impossible to ignore."
What readers are saying

— Verified Reviewer"The forbidden romance had me completely undone. And the twists — I did not see the ending coming at all. This is exactly the kind of story I have been searching for."
— Verified Reviewer"A debut that reads like a seasoned author. The psychological depth, the mythology, the emotional tension — Shana Marlayna Chow is a name to watch. Absolutely stunning work."

Shana Marlayna Chow · Author & Poet
The woman behind the words
Shana Marlayna Chow is a Canadian author and poet whose work centres on storytelling, emotional depth, and imaginative worlds. Raised behind the scenes of the motion picture industry — where her father worked as a property master — she developed an early appreciation for narrative structure, atmosphere, and the unseen details that bring stories to life.
Her early career in Vancouver's film and modelling industry further shaped her understanding of character, presence, and visual storytelling. University studies in Criminology and Social Sciences gave her a lifelong fascination with power structures, policy, and the hidden forces that shape history — themes that pulse at the very heart of The ADIX.
Her poetry collections — Love Gone Savage (2017) and I Tried to Write Love Poems (2019) — established her voice as one of honesty and emotional courage. Her debut novel, The ADIX (2026), marks her arrival as a fiction force to reckon with. Alongside her creative work, Shana is an entrepreneur with a decade of experience building and scaling companies online. Above all else, she is a proud mother — and the love, resilience, and wonder she finds in motherhood quietly threads its way through everything she creates.
