Shannon McKelden

A native of the Pacific Northwest, Shannon McKelden has wanted to be a writer since she got that first A+ on a short story written in elementary school.

She joined RWA and started writing her first romance novel in 1990, a book that took 9 long years to write. (It's still on the shelf collecting dust and will remain there for eternity.)

After writing a second romance novel, Shannon found her voice in humorous women's fiction, with her first published novel: VENUS ENVY.

After publishing 3 novels, Shannon decided to share her take on positive thinking and became The Happy Writer...which became a popular blog and is now becoming available in e-book form as The Happy Writer Series of books. Look for them here soon!

Shannon still lives with her family in the Pacific Northwest where she freelances and works on her next book projects.
