about the writer
Shannon O’Shea is a professional copywriter by day, a speculative fiction writer by night, and an exhausted millennial 24/7/365.
Her favorite stories use magic to explore intangible, mundane experiences, like growing up, saying goodbye, and getting your shit together.
When she was a kid, she wanted to be Serafina Pekkala when she grew up, so that she could feel the starlight.
