At the age of 8, Shannon V. Brown wrote The Year Santa Forgot Christmas a story that won acclaim from her third grade class and teacher. By the age of ten she had moved on to become the editor and chief, art director, and sole writer for Meow, a lifestyle magazine for cats. (Sadly no remaining copies are known to exist of this stellar publication.) Today Ms. Brown is actively writing once again. Aside from her novel and it’s upcoming sequel, Shannon is an accomplished writer of short stories and a series of humorous non fiction essays, about the joys of dead end jobs, hellish temp agencies and the on-going nightmare that is the interview process.

Shannon currently holds a Bachelor’s degree in Communications. Aside from her writing, her interests include graphic and web design, digital photography, fine art and collecting.
