Meet the Author

A native Jersey girl, Shawn loves small towns and exploring new places. When her husband joined the Army, the opportunity gave her a chance to see more of the world than she had ever planned to, but New Jersey will always be home.

Shawn’s professional writing career began during her husband's year-long deployment to Iraq. Being a twin, and having married her high school sweetheart, she was always part of something bigger.

During that year in which she lived in Germany, an ocean away from family and familiarity, she became acquainted with who she was as an individual for the first time. As she dove into novel writing, she discovered a part of herself that was all her own.

"It is my hope to provide motivation for fellow authors who continue to polish their voice and work on their craft. I want to inspire as many writers as I can to view their work as an ongoing journey. You never know which step you are on in achieving your dreams, all you can do is to keep pressing forward. Looking back shows you how far you've come, and looking ahead gives you direction, but the most important part of the journey is where you are right now. Never stop striving, live without regret, and use both your experience and your dreams for the future to shape what you're doing right now."
