Shannon Dee Bio
SD
In a previous life, Shannon wrote romance novels set in the English Regency. Now she’s writing paranormal (as in next to, but not quite the usual) romances, and other things. Meantime, the dogs keep her busy, the garden always needs work, and she can be found on twitter @randomfreshink.

I would be interested to know what you have written about Sir Charles Bunbury? Much appreciated. Kind regards, Rachel McGrath

Since I write fiction, I’ve not written anything on Bunbury — however, I can recommend the non-fiction “Aristocrats” about the Lennox sisters, one of whom married Bunbury. (I haven’t used him in any of my fiction, either.)

I enjoyed reading your adaptation for the Phantom of the Opera by G.Leroux. This is one genre that touches my soul. I’ll be now following you on Twitter.

Hello Shannon!
For the past couple of months we’ve been laying the groundwork to establish ourselves as one of the premier romance novel review sites and hope to serve as the preferred industry news hub for readers of the genre.
We’re looking to forge forward to getting our 2010 campaign to roll forth as planned.
We’re approaching you for a link exchange. We wish to carry your link on our site and see a link to us on yours.
This is our linking code:
A Novel Romance
Be sure to keep your eyes on our Authors page…we’ll have your bio up there very soon.
Thank you,
Jennilyn

Greetings Shannon!
I had to send a reply. As an advid reader (mostly biographies and history books) I wanted to congradulate you on your literaty sucess! Writing is a gift, and I have always been amazed how authors can formulate words on paper to create an image for their readers. Alot like a musician creating music! You have such a woundeful gift, and I know it comes with a lot of hard work and dedication.
The past few years, I have taken my grandchildren to UCLA in April to attend the book fair. Two years ago, we had the pleasure of hearing Julie Andrews speak, and my grandaughter was lucky enough to get an autographed copy of one of her childrens books. I see you have published children and young adult books. Will you be speaking at one of these events? I would love to hear you and perhaps have my grandchild meet you.
Continued sucess and much happiness from your old school chum of many years past.
Cheers!

Well, I’ve taught some classes at UCLA, but as for speaking at the LA Times book fair, I say chances for that snowball in hell really are better (LA Times likes to do the literary thing and that’s so not what I write). I’m far more likely to crop up at a Romance Writers event

Hey I am looking into trying to possibly getting published. Would you recommend your agent. Just wondering? I want to find someone good.

Recommending an agent to anyone is like setting up a friend with a blind date — it might go great, or it can just blow up for no good reason. Everyone has to find the agent who suits their needs, writing and personality. The best thing you can do is check out the Association of Authors Representatives – http://aaronline.org. They list only reputable agents. Everyone also has a website these days — do the research, check out who an agent represents and the info on their site. If you can, go to conferences and meet folks. You want a relationship that’s a good one, so it’s very much a matter of how you click both professionally and personally. I love my agent, but is she the right person for you? Can’t say.

Shannon Hi!
I don’t know if you remember me, I’m Mrs. Schellerup’s creative writing student Cynthia Cordell. I have sent you an email on a lesson plan for SHOW vs. TELL, basically from what I gleaned from your lectures on the subject, plus also from bantering back and forth with members of Authonomy.com.
I would love to get your thoughts on this lesson plan of mine. It’s geared towards 7th and 8th graders.
Thanks a million!
Cynthia

Email sent back to you on this — main thing to keep in mind is the reading level of the students. You always have to teach to lowest level so that everyone gets it, and it’s often best to simplify anyway (it’s not a matter of ‘dumbing down’ the material, but rather of making sure you’re not over-complicating the material’s presentation).

Thanks so much!
