edit data

Shannon is an avid reader, single mom, disabled superwoman (She doesn't wear a cape it gets stuck in her wheelchair wheels), and an aspiring writer of nonsense and dreams. She holds a BA in English Literature and an MS in Psychology. Shannon grew up on the boarder in the tip of Texas, but has resided with her daughter in the heart of Texas, San Antonio for more than twenty years.

Shannon's stories feature disabled characters, mental health representation, and all things queer, but more than that they also feature what the world would consider unlikely heroes. No matter what she writes, fantasy or contemporary, Shannon likes to weave what she knows and has experienced, to give life to disabled superheroes, shifters, and rock stars alike.

Shannon’s Quotes

“If nothing else in this long and short life, let me be true to my conscience, to the dignity of my own heart. Let me act in a way that says, I have honored my spirit as truly as I have honored others'. Let me stand tall and rooted as a mountain in the face of a quaking world.”
― Jennifer DeLucy
