Shannon Taylor

Shannon Taylor is a former magazine and literature textbook editor from Minnesota, where snowy winters inspired the cozy traditions that fill her middle-grade Christmas novel. Shannon and her husband have four kids—a filmmaker, a technical artist, and two college students—and a golden retriever named Teddy. When she’s not writing, she enjoys cozy mysteries, knitting, playing keyboard in a local band, and rowing—an experience that inspired the new novel she’s working on.
