BIO: I'm an Oklahoma girl gone south...to the beautiful beaches of Galveston, Texas with my husband, son, three super sweet dogs, and two handsome tomcats. After my freshman year at the University of Oklahoma, I abandoned college life for a lucrative career in waitressing. One day—inspired by advice from family and an armed forces episode of Family Feud—I joined the Navy, but after a brief stint in boot camp, I was diagnosed with a rare, incurable kidney disorder and honorably discharged. Over the next two decades, I met and married a wonderful guy named Jeff…gave birth to our amazing son, Jack…and received a shiny new kidney from my best friend and now kid-sister, Robin. With a second chance at life, and an appreciation for everything in i ...more

“Lost in a book is a great place to be found.”
Shannon Taylor Hodnett

“Art builds upon art, builds upon art...nothing is purely original. We're all inspired by something...or someone. It's a never-ending chain of ideas...and it's magical.”
Shannon Taylor Hodnett

“Creativity abides no absolutes.”
Shannon Taylor Hodnett

“It's all about the smiles!”
Emmy Swain

“Art builds upon art, builds upon art...nothing is purely original. We're all inspired by something...or someone. It's a never-ending chain of ideas...and it's magical.”
Shannon Taylor Hodnett

“Be ruthless about protecting writing days, i.e., do not cave in to endless requests to have "essential" and "long overdue" meetings on those days. The funny thing is that, although writing has been my actual job for several years now, I still seem to have to fight for time in which to do it. Some people do not seem to grasp that I still have to sit down in peace and write the books, apparently believing that they pop up like mushrooms without my connivance. I must therefore guard the time allotted to writing as a Hungarian Horntail guards its firstborn egg.”
J.K. Rowling

“Don't Gain The World & Lose Your Soul, Wisdom Is Better Than Silver Or Gold.”
Bob Marley

“Your Life Determines Your Journey & Your Journey Determines Your Life”
Charleston Parker, One Soul, Many Faces: Revealing the Hidden Truth
