The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Shannon was born East Texas and in the year after her birth Houston saw a record three snowfalls. So, though she loved the Gulf and the bayous that birthed her, moving North seemed inevitable. She is a collector of odd images, phrases and words, often compiling them into cryptic little poems. Her curiosities are varied and highly mobile, never staying anywhere too long but always baring the residue of previous adventures. She loves all-things-ocean, ethnobotany, modern surrealist storytelling by women, Northern European mysteries, science fiction, young adult sci-fi-fantasy, sociological inquiry and is very picky about the poetry she reads. She tends to the psychology, poetry and ethnic studies sections of the store. She is also the mother of a teenager who, having inherited the "slave to the Northern winds" gene, dreams of moving to Canada.
