Shalvin Carpe is a writer, editor, publisher and promoter of his own literary aspirations, which include books, articles, songs, videos, and the website to showcase them all. He is a keen breather of air, a gazer at sunsets, a listener to loud music and a speaker to anyone who'll listen, provided you can hear him over the music. His titles range from the offhand to the earnest, from the ironic to the straight talking, (mostly) distilled from personal experiences good and bad, although he does intend that both his trials and his triumphs should always be expressed through the prism of the positive. (This doesn't always come across, but that is at least what he's aiming for.) Shalvin Carpe is just Calvin Sharpe with the first two syllables swapped around. His given name was already taken for sites and handles by other internet denizens, so he had to get 'creative'. He can be spotted wandering around his own website most days, and does occasionally swing by at FB, YT and IG, but not X anymore, because he can't be bothered to keep adding 'formerly Twitter' each time. Sh(C)alvin lives in (sometimes sunny) Hampshire in England, UK. He does like it there, but would like to leave more often, if only to appreciate coming back.
