Shannon Doyle grew up in Michigan and now lives in Oakland, California, where she cofounded a building automation consulting company. When she's not scribbling story and joke ideas on sticky notes or staring at her unfinished works in abject terror, she loves morning volleyball at the beach, low-stakes anonymous pranks, and baking sweet treats for friends. She believes most things in life are better with sprinkles on top. Roll the Bones is her first novel.
