Martin Kohn of The Detroit Free Press once wrote that Shannon "... joins the ranks of actors who make any production better simply by being in it."
A recent article from The Lesbian Review <HERE> professed her "ability to balance humor with heartfelt moments makes her narration an absolute delight."
An award-winning Equity actor with two decades on stages throughout the U.S. and Canada, Shannon brings this same intense energy & joyful heart to all of her audiobook performances. She has an ear for accents, a knack for comedy, & a voice that captures both heartbreak & hope. This emotional connectedness and vulnerability finds her regularly sought after to narrate Young Adult, Cozy Mystery, Cozy Fantasy, & Romance titles. She is a proud member of the Queer community and a firm believer in HEAs for fellow curvy gals and is thrilled when she can lend her authentic voice to these stories.
Shannon recently found out she is distantly related to both Lucille Ball and Katharine Hepburn and is, in a word, chuffed- as their stellar comedic performances are tapped for inspiration daily!
