Happy Friday! I'm in meetings with authors most of the day today, so the blackout is relatively easy on me. Tomorrow I'll shop small at one of our local bakeries (where I got my "I'm with the Banned" book pin by Dissent Pins) to support people who support good things. :)

WEATHER WITCH release Friday, OG interior, new covers and a little new foreword. Had a lovely book signing with 7 other wonderfully talented romance authors at Vestal, NY's Barnes & Noble, and I am looking forward to more cool events this year! #authorlife #booksbooksbooks #weatherwitch #booksigning

If you'd like to listen to Bishop Mariann Budde's plea for mercy to Trump on behalf of the American people, here's the snippet from the sermon and an interview she did with a member of her congregation, Diane Rehm. It runs 35 minutes. Definitely worth a listen! pca.st/8krhlfr5

Okay, so... I've been doing reels on other platforms, but sized to mobile, and...everytime I get close to hitting Post here it looks like the size will not adjust so the ratio's right. Am I just being too timid, or do I need to size them more like IG? #newbie

A snippet from 13 TO LIFE. I loved writing our very real dogs Hunter and Maggie into Jess's very fictional book. :) #rescuedogs #booksbooksbooks #newedition

The new edition of SECRETS AND SHADOWS is out! But what's the difference between the original St. Martin's Press/Macmillan copy and what readers lovingly call "Shannon's Version?" 12,000 words more each (new scenes), flipbook-style animation in the paperback, and more! #newrelease #books

Putting billionaires in charge of trimming government spending? Dumb. Put in the mom or dad who pulled their family out of debt by savvy shopping, clever couponing, and avoiding unnecessary costs, not some boys who can't tell you the price of things because they've never wanted for anything.

Today a girl in Austria woke to a St. Nicholas gift of 13 TO LIFE, written in English by an American, with a cover designed in Ukraine, the book printed in Poland, and I feel GIDDY about all that. And I hope with all my heart that she enjoys the story and has a most wonderful holiday! ❤

I know, I know, I'm sharing a LOT about the sale on 13 TO LIFE right now... I promise I'll switch back to other things soon. BUT. Cyber Monday and the ebook's still at .99 and the paperback (with the cool pageflip animation) is only $13.99. And that's the best either of them will be in 2024. <3
