About Shannon

Shannon Castleton has been telling stories in her head for as long as she can remember. But she always wrote them down as poems. And then she studied poems, for years, and published some. But she always wanted to write a long story. A love story. Drinker of Ink is her first attempt, inspired by her love of words, poems, books, French, baking, kissing, obsessive-compulsive people, and long walks in Europe. She and her husband, Steve, fell in love in a university Physical Science class. He first kissed her in a stairwell. In no time, they had four daughters.

 Shannon is a graduate of the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College. She lives with her family in a town called Bountiful.
