S.M. Parker, also known as Shannon Parker, resides on the Atlantic coast in a lively household filled with boys. She is an avid traveler, having visited over three dozen countries, with a goal of exploring many more. Her professional life is dedicated to the field of education, and she spends her free time rescuing dogs, chickens, old houses, and wooden boats. Shannon has a soft spot for chocolate chip cookies and enjoys moments of ridiculous laughter—preferably both at the same time.
