Shannon Marie Collins
I would consider myself a very cool nerd. I loved school so much that I became a teacher so I wouldn't have to leave. I read so much that most of my family and friends think I'm just plain weird. But there are the few in my life who were put there for the sole purpose of encouraging me to read even more. For that I am thankful. I spent an entire summer once as a kid reading about each of the 50 states in the USA and writing reports about them. My mom should have known better than to buy me a complete set of encyclopedias. It seems odd by all comparison that I now have a daughter of my own who absolutely detests school and will not sound out letters or words to save her soul. *Update - My kid is reading! Oh happy day! And she likes it!!!
What led me to this place of writing now in my life? I've always wanted to write a series. I was hooked once I read Sweet Valley Twins when I was a kid. So I've searched for an inspiration for many years and I think I finally found one. I researched Irish folklore and came across a story called The Twelve Horned Women and it spoke to me. So I've begun my journey into writing and I hope it is as promising and as inspiring as this simple story has been to me. I am going to post the synopsis and original story of these women on this website as well as what I've started on as Chapter 1 of my story. I'd love feedback as I continue to write. Check out the tabs at the top of this page to read on.
