Jennifer N. Shannon was born and raised in the small town of Cheraw, SC. Upon graduating from HS, she attended the University of South Carolina which is where an overwhelming desire to write was nourished.
“I remember Whoopi Goldberg saying in Sister Act 2, ‘if when you wake up in the morning all you want to do is sing, then you supposed to be a singer.’ In college, words, thoughts, and ideas woke me up or made it so I couldn’t go to sleep at night unless I put those feelings on paper.

Jennifer received her B.A. in Broadcast Journalism in 2001 and soon after began writing Silent Teardrops.
