Shannon Brown - Author
Welcome to my story space.
I've been an avid reader my entire life, someone who disappeared into books, found comfort in the characters, and learned early on the power of stories. Storytelling came just as naturally, becoming my way of understanding people, emotions, and experiences. My writing now weaves that lifelong love of books and emotionally honest storytelling focuses on resilience, survival, and healing.
About Shannon Brown
I grew up in Vermont, surrounded by quiet towns, long winters, and plenty of time to get lost in books and stories. Storytelling became an early companion, something I returned to again and again as both an escape and a way to understand the world around me. Some of my early favorites were The Boxcar Children, and Nancy Drew. I grew up being completely engulfed in Harry Potter. I still to this day lean toward Romance, Fantasy (especially Vampire based), and Sci-Fi.
I went on to attend the University of Main at Farmington, where I earned a double degree in Early Childhood and Special Education. I began working with children at just fifteen years old and have spent my life in roles centered on caring for, teaching, and advocating for them. That work deeply shapes the stories I tell and the perspectives I write from.
Writing has always been more than hobby, it has been an outlet, a refuge, and a constant thread through every stage of my life. I write with a deep respect for childhood, resilience, and the lasting impact of being seen and heard.
When I'm not writing, you'll usually find me planning my next trip, talking Disney, or spending time with my beloved pug, Loki. He truly believes he is the true main character of all my stories. I am also a big fan of wrestling, musical theater, and spending long days at the ocean.
