Ann W Shannon

Ann is wife to Mike, her husband of 22 years and mother to three children, ages 30, 20 and 17, and two grandchildren. She lives in northern New Jersey where she spends her time wrangling her class 3 working dog and writing in every spare minute she can find.

She is a proud member of the #5amwriting club on Twitter where you can find her tapping away at the keys Monday through Friday and a NaNoWriMo and Camp NaNoWriMo winner. She has a BS in Christian ministry that she earned from Mid-America Christian University in 2014, believing that never giving up is the best motto. She is currently pursuing work as a freelancer and author.

She's half of the Dynamic Duo Anthology team. They organize and publish anthologies for various purposes.

Ann believes in fairies, vampires, and true love even if she only writes about the last. She loves Dystopian Fiction, Urban Fantasy, and Paranormal anything. She's a secret Trekkie, meaning she's seen every show and movie at least once, but never dressed up as a Klingon or told anyone about her secret crush on Worf. She's old enough to have seen the original Star Trek movies (and Star Wars) in the theater, but young enough to enjoy the new ones as well.

She has a prankster hidden in her heart and takes every opportunity to let her out. She's been unable to contain her since they took gullible out of the dictionary at the direction of Webster himself.

She's also a history buff and spends a lot of time thinking 'what if?' but she's too lazy to write alternate timelines and speculative fiction, making up future what if's instead.

She blogs at annw.shannonauthor.org and can be reached through her email at annwshannon@gmail.com, or found on Twitter and Facebook. Find her, follow and come along for the ride! It's sure to be a fun one.
