Shannon O'Neil is a native of St. Augustine, Florida, but her Southern roots run deep in the kudzu and clay of Lower Alabama. A proud Florida State University alumnus, Shannon is also the author of I'll Be Home for Peacemas and A Complicated Christmas, both available on Amazon. She currently resides in St. Augustine with her favorite beach companion, Bucky, and draws inspiration from the cobblestone paths, sandy shores, and literary history of the Nation's Oldest City.
