Marie Shannon writes emotionally layered stories about love, identity, and growing up—often with a dash of humor and a lot of heart. She spends her summers in Maine, where her family has deep roots, and it’s no surprise the rugged coastlines and quiet towns often serve as the backdrop for her novels.
During the rest of the year, she works as a teacher and lives in Northern Virginia with her family, nestled among the rolling hills of the Piedmont. When she’s not writing or grading papers, Marie tends to her bees—yes, she’s a beekeeper—and finds their quiet rhythm endlessly fascinating.
