Welcome!
I write romantic fantasy where magic is real and love is dangerous.
My books are full of monster girls, the boys who are obsessed with them anyway, and impossible choices that will make you suffer in the best way possible. But don’t worry! I believe in hard-won happy endings. If you love dual POV romance, emotional twists, and finales that feel earned and satisfying, you’re in the right place.
Two of my fantasy series are now available:
🗡 Minutes Before Sunset – a Midwest-inspired rural romantasy where the “dark side” are actually the good guys (and everyone has two faces—literally!)
⚡ Bad Bloods – a dark dystopian fantasy that’s part X-Men, part rebellion, all heart (& found family)
When I’m not writing, I work in Art Rights & Permissions at Penguin Random House Audio and bake cookies at midnight while binging K-dramas. I’m also a cat mom to two mischievous gremlins. I’m represented by Gallt & Zacker Literary agency.
Ready to chat books? ☕ You can reach me at via my Contact page. I’ll be drinking coffee when I read your message.
Talk to you soon!

Thanks for stopping by 😀 I really enjoy your website, and I’m flattered that you liked this page. Also, I read your comment on my blog post about Scribd. I’m still really weary about programs like that as well.
~SAT
Thanks for following me!
You’re welcome 😀
~SAT
Shannon, I’m deeply flattered that one so talented should visit my humble public forum…I’m also curious as to 1. how on earth you found me, and 2.(probably even more curioser as to) why you should bother with the Follow button at all?? Cheers REDdog
I’ve been reading your posts for a little while now. 🙂 I really enjoyed your story about your tattoos, and when you mentioned a Ducati, I was sold. I found you through the reader. Hope that answers your questions.
~ SAT
Why thank you SAT…might hafta get on with writing about the other tatts then eh?
I like how you tackle common phrases by telling your story. 🙂
~ SAT
Maybe you’ve got something you’d like me to write about? Might be interesting, haven’t put that out there before.
Oh, that would be delightful! Can you do truth is stranger than fiction? I wrote about it once here: https://shannonathompson.com/2014/01/04/stranger-than-fiction/
~SAT
Have a look at my post Back In The Saddle Again Part 4, see if that’s the sort of thing you mean and I’ll have a think about what else I can come up with
Hi Shannon. Quite impressive! How many books under your belt? 🙂
Thanks for visiting Equinoxio. Come back any time. Door’s open and the light’s always on.
Take care
Brian
Hi Shannon, thank you for the follow! I am glad to meet you in here and I really like your blog! Hope to read more of your works in future. Regards,

I’m with REDdog. Well, not technically… I’m actually married with four kids, none of whom have cool tattoos or piercings. But I am wondering how you found my little blog. And I thank you for the follow.
I have to say, I love that you write. I love that you write with such confidence. I love that you somehow believed you could make this writing thing work. There’s a message in there for the rest of us old folk, I think.
P.S. Your recent poems are astounding.
Your autobiography is very interesting. Best wishes.

I nominated you for an award, sorry…lol http://jonasleeblog.com/2014/05/30/inspiring-me-okay/
Aw! Don’t apologize 😀 I share them on my websites. Thank you 😀 Going to check it out right now!
~SAT
Thanks for the FB piggy-back!
I want to thank you for following “A Way With Words.” My joy in writing is made more complete when people read what I’ve written (and even more so as they respond).
I write mainly about faith and mental illness, but am known to dabble occasionally in other subjects, stories, and even the occasional poem. If you have any requests, please let me know.
I appreciate what you have going here and commend you on your prolific writing. I share some of your literary passions (namely for Poe and Billy Collins). I pray you are blessed in your life and writing, as you bless others.
Gratefully,
Tony Roberts
I will surely let you know if I have any request. You write about many difficult matters that need to be discussed more. Thank you for writing, Tony Roberts!

Hi Shannon. Thank you for visiting and following HoB. Much appreciated!
Oh! Thank you for coming back and commenting here. That is too kind of you. Will visit HoB again soon.
~SAT
I’ve nominated you for the Leibster Award! See my blog for details.
Thank you! I posted about your website on my Facebook page.
~SAT
Wow! Thank you very much!
It’s an honor that you followed me! After reading this and gaining this background on you, I’m entirely inspired by your story. Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful work/thoughts/mind 🙂
Thank you for connecting with me 😀 I love your blog, and I hope we can continue to chat.
~SAT
Hey, Shannon!
Thanks or the follow. I love your blog’s opening page. It’s refreshing to see genuine and fun loving people be themselves. I’m also very impressed with your success. I can just tell you have real passion and no small amount of talent.
If I may, how did you first find your audience? You seemed to have done this quite well fairly early. I’d love to hear what that experience was like for you.
Hey, D.C. Runkel!
I actually share a lot of stats and other information here on ShannonAThompson.com to help those who might want to build their audiences. I share #1 searched term, my most popular posts, and more to explain what brings people to my website. Here’s a good place to start since it covers one year (https://shannonathompson.com/2014/01/02/my-year-in-review/) but I would suggest checking out the “Ketchup” posts. Those get more specific since they only cover one month at a time.
Hope that helps,
~SAT
Thank you so much for following my blog and liking my post! I am also an aspiring author and reading about you and your wrok made me want to start writing again. 🙂
That is too sweet! I hope you start writing again soon. :]
~SAT

Wow. You are such an inspiring person. Seeing all you have accomplished in such a short time span is so encouraging to a high schooler like me, who wants to write, but can’t seem to accomplish her goals. Thank you for demonstrating what hard work can bring. Now I just need to emulate you….easier said than done;)
You can do it! ❤
~SAT
