Shannon A. Thompson is a young adult author, avid reader, and habitual chatterbox. Thompson is represented by Marietta Zacker at Gallt & Zacker Literary Agency. She is the best-selling author of the Timely Death trilogy and the Bad Bloods series. As a novelist, poet, and blogger, Thompson spends her free time writing and sharing ideas with her cats, also known as her gremlins. Between writing and befriending cats, Thompson graduated from the University of Kansas with a bachelor’s degree in English with an emphasis on creative writing, and her work has appeared in numerous poetry collections and anthologies. When she is not writing, she is climbing rooftops, baking cookies, or watching murder shows in the middle of the night, often done with her cats by her side. Visit her blog for writers and readers at www.ShannonAThompson.com.
