Shannon Redmon’s Segue From Breakup Letters to Romantic Suspense (Episode 68)

On this episode of “The Romantic Side of Suspense,” my guest is Shannon Redmon, who remembers the first grown-up book she checked out from the neighborhood bookmobile. A Victoria Holt novel with romance, intrigue, dashing gentlemen and ballroom parties captivated her attention. For her mother, the silence must have been a pleasant break from non-stop teenage chatter, but for Shannon, those stories whipped up a desire and passion for writing. Shannon hopes her stories immerse readers into a world of joy and escape while encouraging faith, hope, and love. Her debut novel Cave of Secrets released by Harlequin’s Love Inspired Suspense line in October 2020. Her other published works have appeared in Spark magazine, Splickety magazine, The Horse of My Dreams compilation book, Romantic Moments compilation book, the Lightning Blog and the Seriously Write blog. She won first place in the Foundation Awards and is represented by Tamela Hancock Murray of the Steve Laube Agency. “I have been writing for a really long time,” Shannon said. “When I was a kid, I used to write poems and songs. I would [also] write breakup letters for my friends’ boyfriends. They would ask me … how to say this without hurting his feelings. [My writing] grew from that.” Connect w/Shannon Website: www.shannonredmon.com Goodreads: https://bit.ly/SRGoodreads Amazon Author Page: https://amzn.to/3suOv7F LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/shannonredmon/ YouTube: https://bit.ly/SMRYouTubeChannel Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shannon.redmon Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/shannon_redmon Listen to the podcast for more from our interview, plus an excerpt from Secrets Left Behind.
