Who is Shannon?

I am and have been many things: a writer; a mother; a geek; an activist. Also, a software developer, a project manager, an editor, an entrepreneur and a perpetual student.

Over the course of my working life, I have: started and sold a web design company; published books about the Internet, college financing, voodoo and monsters; copy-edited a local arts rag; shepherded a nonprofit‘s intranet through several iterations; and managed an open source software development project. Right now, I am just being a mom and thinking about what comes next. During this time, I am occasionally writing content for blogs and other websites, with recent publications on Blogcritics, The Huffington Post and Flashlight-Worthy Book Recommendations. I also keep two other blogs, Books Worth Reading, my reading journal, and Simply Cooking, where I document my endeavors in the kitchen.

For more about me, please see my CV and my strengths, passions, values page. You can also find samples of my past work on my Delicious portfolio.
