About the author

Shawn MacDonald (that would be me) was born on July 27, 1963 in Wheaton, Minnesota. For those of you with poor math skills, that makes me 29 years old. I am 29 years old today, and in five years I will still be 29 years old. If you find my math skills debatable, I will warn you that I am menopausal and cranky. Don't argue with me.
Shawn (yes, I am back to third person) is a waitress/manager by day, and a writer by night. She has had many short, humorous pieces published in various magazines, and currently has several humorous fiction works available as ebooks. If, in searching for her works, you come across "The Darkness Within", be warned that that particular work was published in 1992, during Shawn's I-want-to-be-the-next-VC Andrews phase. It is NOT a funny book.
Shawn currently lives in the booming metropolis of Northwood, New Hampshire. She is the mother of three amazing daughters, and several equally amazing grand-pets. If anyone is wondering why none of those amazing daughters have not provided Shawn with a grandCHILD, you are not alone. Ahem.
So buy or borrow an ebook today! They are inexpensive and they are funny. In other words - they are a cheap laugh! All six books are available through Amazon.com!

Reviews

[Mandi Moore · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the most terrifying and memorable books I've come across. Read it once, lost the book during a move, and 10 years later still remembered the book and title so I had to find it on Amazon in order to purchase it. Love this, and suggest it to anyone who loves psychological thrillers or just plain scary!
