Shannon Leigh is a practicing registered nurse who graduated with a BSN, RN from the Indiana University School of nursing in May of 1996. She is happily married and lives in Indiana with her husband, four sons, and two cats. When she's not chasing after her four rambunctious boys, Shannon enjoys tole painting, drawing, reading, writing, and watching vampire flicks. Coincidentally, one of her favorite movies, Dracula 2000, which stars Gerard Butler, was released on her birthday, December 22.

Shannon tries to dedicate a couple of hours every day to writing and finds that the best time for her is usually sometime between the hours of 9 p.m. and 3 a.m., after everyone else is in bed. Her favorite time to write is when the house is pitch black, lighted only by her laptop screen, and she can curl up on the couch with a cup of tea and become engrossed in her characters.

Along with other romance genres, Shannon enjoys reading suspense, fantasy and horror, but paranormal fiction remains her favorite. Her second novel, More Than Prophecy, is a paranormal romance involving interplanetary travel to a world known as Zandar, released by Amber Quill Press in January 2005. She's currently working on the sequel, When Destiny Calls, and hopes to have it ready for editing soon.
