About Me

Hi! I'm Shannon, a Librarian mother of two soul love baby boys and married to a fantastic computer guru Greek guy. I'm a Southern native from Alabama and North Carolina, lived in England and traveled a decent bit. I'm now trying to survive the suburbs of Chicago with my heart crying for the return to nature, mountains and woods. I'm in administration of public libraries, teach college part time, review books and write creatively. Join me as I obsess about the state of our world, and make sure you leave a comment, Mama likes the conversations. Please be aware that here I am just me, trying to do my part to make the world a kinder place if I can. No rules, no limits......just writing. And note: My opinions are entirely my own despite my very public job - what I say does not represent any other person or establishment.
