Hi. My name is Shannon Fay, I’m a writer, and this is my website. Through the ‘Works’ tab you can see a list of my published stories and articles. Click ‘Bio’ if you want to learn more (but not all) about me. Go to ‘Contact’ if you want to get in touch. As for ‘Blog,’ well, I’ll leave that one as a surprise.
Yes, it is almost MAY 2024 but I am making a renewed effort to update this blog. And one of the few things I like to use it for is keeping track of what books I read. Included in this list is a mix of novels, non-fiction, plays, poetry , and short story collections.
