Welcome!
I write romantic fantasy where magic is real and love is dangerous.
My books are full of genre-blending plot twists and impossible choices that will make you suffer in the best way possible. (Not to mention so. much. yearning.)
Two of my romantic 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 my blog! I appreciate it. Best of luck with your writing. It’s an addictive pastime. 🙂
Love your blog, especially the fact that you stayed up all night writing. Keep it up!
Shannon, you have a really great blog! Your posts feel very candid and genuine, and that always makes for an inviting read. Thanks for the like and for following my blog. Hope you find it interesting (and hopefully I’ll take some of my fiction-writing energy and use it to actually post on my blog more often!). Best of luck with all of your writing adventures!
I am very humble to have caught your eye and I thank you for stopping by. Likewise, I found myself enjoying your blog the more I read and will be following you as well. I haven’t quite figured out what I will be writing about but I hope your still around when I do. I know I will be. -Goes back to exploring the page.-
Thanks for dropping by. Good journey.
You seem like a very beautiful person. I look forward to browsing your blog and once my assignments are out the way I look forward to reading your book! Have a blessed 2013!
Thank you for the like today. What a great load of grief too soon for you dear. I too live for words by way of missing my mother. Bitter but also sweet work as you relay here. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for my very first like and follow! It’s nice to know there’s a reader out there. And because of that, I’ve come across your blog, and round we go! Really enjoying your recommendations and writing so far (I love Perks!) **scurries off to read more posts** 🙂
Thank you for your visit and follow. I enjoyed reading your work.
Thanks for following! Happy writing!
Hi! Thank you for visiting my blog and following 🙂
Hi Shannon, I just wanted to say how much I love the creativity of your blog. You write that you have suffered tragic losses in your life. So have I. Writing and reading have helped me in my grief. You seem a strong person and you have a beautiful photo. I hope you continue to provide pleasure to others in your writing and I wish you good things in 2013 (…and beyond!).
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Hope you come back soon. I can’t help but notice that you and I are quite similar in age and writing interest! Best of luck and happy writing in the new year!
Thanks for the follow. You’re from KU, use Dragon and are published? What are the odds!
Thanks for the like on my blog! Best of wishes as you continue to write!
Thanks for the like! Best of wishes with your writing!
Best wishes for what has stared as a promising and creative career. Your surplus love of cat reminded me of a young character appearing in my next book who loves her pony exceedingly if not excessively. Warmest regards.
Hi Shannon thanks for following my blog! I just followed you 🙂
Hi Shannon, thank you for stopping by my blog. Your achievements are very impressive and I wish you well for your future in writing.
Hi Shannon. Thanks for the follow. Keep reading and writing. 🙂
I am in awe of you: published your first novel when you were 16! Wow! You are a true inspiration. Thank you for following my blog, it gave me the opportunity to find out about yours 🙂
Hi Shannon. Thanks for following my blog! I look forward to reading more of yours.
It looks like you have a bright future ahead of you, and I’m sure your mother would be proud of you. (I speak as a mom here because I have two daughters about your age, and they are both excellent writers.)
I also love Humphrey Bogart (Have you see To Have and Have Not?), cats, and coffee. 🙂
Bogart is adorable. You can never love a cat too much. Sorry for your losses, your mom when you were so very young and your roommate more recently. Continued success to you.
Hi,
I like your introduction and look forward to reading your blogs. I especially like that you are a fan of the Green Bay Packers. I have been a fan for years.
Ciao,
Patricia
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. Best wishes in your writing.
HooOOoooOWWWWwwwWWWLLLLLoooooooo Shannon! Thank you for calling in my blog, the Pack welcomes you and howls greetings from Europa 🙂 I had a look at you on my mobile but I couldn’t get onto your blog from the laptop till tonight! You sound like a lovely person with a great personality. I look forward to reading your posts and hopefully, as I got a lovely shiny Kindle Fire HD for christmas, reading your book too!
Thank you for visiting my blog. That means a lot. I’ve enjoyed looking around yours. It sounds like so much of your life informs your writing. Me too. Keep going.
Shannon, thank ou for checking out my blog. I enjoyed your About page. Yes, life is stranger than fiction and we are indeed the lucky ones who have experienced that. And by the way, I have two black kitties I adore much as well. They, along with another big fluffy boy, have their picture are posted on the blog somewhere.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I enjoyed your About page. We are lucky indeed if we can say we understand how real life is often stranger than fiction. Keep your head up and never stop. By the way, you can see a pic of my black kitties on the blog back pages.
Thanks for following my blog. Your book looks interesting. I’m so sorry you lost your mom so young (and your roommate). Congrats on your success in writing–at such a young age as well!
I have a double degree in English Literature and Communications. I also focused on Creative Writing 🙂 I love it and maybe someday I’ll also publish a book!! LOL about what, I don’t know 😉 Keep up the good work!!
Thanks for the like and the follow! Keep up the great work on your blog 🙂
Thanks for liking “secret income” and for following my blog. Hope some other quips fit your interests and/or concerns. I’m in awe of anyone who can complete and publish a novel, and I wish you the best in publishing more novels and poetry.
I love your creative streak! More power to you. The world lies ahead you brilliant and fair!
Thanks for following my blog. I will follow yours as well.Best wishes, beebeesworld
Hello, Shannon, and thanks for stopping by my blog on my novel mechanic of fortune. You are much advanced from me in running a blog. Congratulations. I’m wondering if you would like to read my novel entire, instead of just the snippets I’ve been posting by way of introducing that story. Your literary career is off to a very fine start! Best wishes to you! .
.
If you ever need assistance or would like a second pair of eyes, let me know. My “paying” career is a proofreader, though I enjoy helping others out, especially self-publishers like myself. I’ll stop by your blog as well! Have a great day!!
Hi Shannon — Thanks so much for stopping by & reading my blog, commonchapters. So glad to find young writers committed to honing craft and using words well! Keep finding good things to say, and say them well!
Thank you for stopping by my novice blog! I am a chatterbox like you, so I always have something to say, though not sure anyone cares. I am a proofreader/editor, writer and mom, not exactly in that order. “) I look forward to watching your career blossom. Have a wonderful day!!
I have nominated you for The Versatile Blogger Award! I enjoy reading your posts. Display it with pride.
Thank you very much. That’s very kind of you.

Excellent blog, gorgeous woman! Keep writing 🙂
Hi Shannon, wanted to say thank you for visiting and then deciding to follow my blog Through My Eyes. I am someone who knows she has some short stories and maybe a novel or two also in her, but is focusing her creativity at the moment on photography. I’ll be one of followers too, because I think you’re very inspirational. All the best! Andrea
Thanks for the follow. I hope it proves useful to you the next time you’re off to the cinema 🙂 Well done on being published. That’s quite an achievement matey.
