Shannon Hollis

Shannon got her first positive review at the age of eight,
when her third-grade teacher shivered at a story she wrote
about a ghost in a graveyard. She wrote her first book at
13 and sent it off to a literary publisher, who probably
took one look at the yellow typing paper and white
correction fluid and deduced the age of the author. His
remarks were consequently very kind, and gave her the
courage to keep writing.

Twenty-five years, seven manuscripts and zillions of
rejection letters later, Shannon sold her master's thesis
to Harlequin and fulfilled a lifelong dream.

After moving to California from Canada, Shannon started
work in the high-tech industry in Silicon Valley. She fell
in love with and married her boss, but while they were
still newlyweds, the 1989 earthquake destroyed their house.
During the construction of a new home, she learned what
teamwork and communication really mean!
