Despite her successful career, Shannon felt a calling to pursue her lifelong passion for writing. Although fiction was her initial desire, she decided to share her personal journey instead.

Tragedy struck on October 4, 2013, when Shannon lost her son Brian in a devastating automobile accident. Instead of succumbing to darkness, Shannon found solace in her faith and began helping other parents who have experienced the loss of a child. She also published her second book, "The Shattered Mirror: Picking up the Pieces," which explores her journey of coping with her son's death. Combining both books, she published a revised edition titled "Tribulation to Victory: Birth of a Queen" in April 2018. This book became a bestseller, and Shannon is currently working on her 14th book.

In addition to her writing career, Shannon is the CEO and Founder of Parents Pushing Past Their Grief Inc.
