Originally drawn to writing young adult royal romance, she has also published contemporary and western romance, all sweet and clean. She earned a Masters in British and American literature with an emphasis in research and writing. Mostly, she happily imagines worlds of her own.

Shantal loves to travel, the great outdoors, and exploring new locations for her next book.

Shantal’s Quotes

“Most of the time I am sunk in thought, but at some point on each walk there comes a moment when I look up and notice, with a kind of first-time astonishment, the amazing complex delicacy of the words, the casual ease with which elemental things come together to form a composition that is--whatever the season, wherever I put my besotted gaze--perfect.”
― Bill Bryson, A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail
