About this author

edit data

Writing thrillers gives Shannon all the danger this accountant needs in her life. A lover of the great outdoors, she can often be found with a backpack or tank strapped to her, traipsing mountains, lakes, deserts or the ocean. What people believe about God and how it drives them to act has always fascinated Shannon and the red heifer prophecy is rife with conflicted interpretation and mystery, a perfect premise for a thriller.

Shannon gave to: Still Life (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, #1) by Louise Penny read in June, 2011	My rating:
I enjoyed this traditional mystery. Lots of red herrings. Penny changed point of view frequently, often mid-paragraph. Writers are instructed time and again to never, ever do this. I thought it worked. It sure bears some study to see how she got away...more

Shannon gave to: Rain Dogs by Sean Doolittle read in May, 2011	My rating:
I've been wanting to read this since I met Sean at an event in Omaha a year ago. Since I lived in the Nebraska Sandhills for 20 years, I was interested to see his take on it. I enjoyed it, thought he got the atmosphere just right.

Shannon gave to: Black Out by Lisa Unger (Goodreads Author) read in May, 2011	My rating:
Unger is a master. I wish I had more time to read everything she's written. She's sort of dark, but can really weave a good one.

Shannon gave to: What the Dead Know by Laura Lippman (Goodreads Author) read in May, 2011	My rating:
I hadn't read any Lipman before and I will definitely be reading more. Not only was the story full of surprises and twists and kept me guessing, I loved her writing. She used one reference by an embittered man who described women and men in relations...more
