Shannon L. Monroe discovered her love of story-telling whether it’s in the form of songs, poetry or romance at a young age; being influenced by legends and icons such as Phyllis Wheatley, Maya Angelou, Homer, Catullus to Nikki Giovanni, Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam, and Chuck D. Her love of history, music of all kinds, old, crusty books and libraries inspires her to travel the world in dreamland and reality in search of the next great epic. Her first poetry compilation on sale now is a revised collection of poems from a young lady’s perspective on longing, love and desire: The Quest For A Warrior: Love Poetry Collection

As a member of the Bay Area Romance Writers (former local chapter of Romance Writers of America, the San Francisco Area-RWA chapter), Shannon contributed an article to the SFA-RWA romance author resource guidebook on writing: Writing Romance: The Ultimate Guide on Craft, Creation and Industry Connections
