Colleen Shannon
 http://www.colleenshannon.com/main.html Colleen Shannon graduated cum laude from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.A. in Archaeology. Her combined love of history and science led her from a summer dig at an Ice Age site in Lubbock back to graduate Journalism school to work on her Masters. But, as so often happens, love, marriage and a first child intervened in her career plans. She took a semester break, eyeing the computer her talented engineer husband had built from Texas Instruments scrap. Why let it go unused? Since the age of eight, when she began writing short stories, Colleen had always wanted to be a storyteller. Then, as now, she was a firm proponent of the old Texas truism: "Can't never could." Using the scrap computer, she wrote her first historical romance, sold it herself in less than a year, and at the age of 26 began a new career and never looked back. The strength of her first book led to her nomination by Romantic Times as Best New Historical Author. She went on to win and/or be nominated for numerous other awards, including a Kiss Award for all three heroes of her recent Fairy Tale trilogy. Her thirteen single title releases have appeared on numerous chain store and on line bestseller lists. Her contemporary fairy tale romance, Heaven's Rogue, was recently chosen by Stephanie Hargreaves, Amazon romance editor, as a favorite fairy tale pick. Her newest book, The Wolf of Haskell Hall, January 2001, is a debut launch title for Dorchester's new gothic Candleglow line with major publisher promotion. Colleen participates in two critique groups. Her latest interests include mainstream thrillers and screenplays. She's completed five scripts, and has had them requested and reviewed by some well-known Hollywood production companies, some requesting more scripts, and is presently at work on her sixth. However, she truly enjoys exploring the myriad possibilities between men and women, and she expects to celebrate her love of romance with many more novels. |
