Author.
Storyteller.
Lifelong Student of life.
At 89 years old, writer Shahen Guiragossian continues to explore the questions that define our lives: What gives life meaning? How do we measure a life well lived? And how do we know if we’ve spent our time on what truly matters?
Stories Help Us Recognize Ourselves.
We often think our lives are too ordinary to matter until we hear someone else’s story echo our own. Shahen writes about family, resilience, and the lifelong search for purpose—not because his experiences are unique, but because the questions beneath them belong to all of us.
The Hawk and Never Settled explore different aspects of the human experience. One looks outward to heritage, resilience, and the legacy of those who came before us. The other looks inward, examining contentment, self-discovery, and the questions many of us quietly carry.

A Writer’s Journey
Writing has been part of Shahen Guiragossian’s life since he was young. Although becoming a published author came later in life, the dream of writing never left him.
Today, memoirs, essays, and personal reflections have become his way of exploring the people who shaped him, the hardships he endured, and the lessons that continue to unfold. Through every story, Shahen invites readers to slow down, ask thoughtful questions, and discover meaning in the moments that often pass us by.
The journey is still unfolding, and each new page is another opportunity to connect, reflect, and keep learning.
