Shannon Leigh

About

I'm  a practicing registered nurse who graduated with a B.S.N. R.N. from the Indiana University School of nursing in May of 1996. I live in Indiana with my husband, four sons, dog, and one cat. The boys and I enjoy camping, fishing, and sitting out back with the dogs, while a cozy fire crackles in the fire pit. In my spare time, I like to draw, read, write, and watch movies.  My newest hobby is cake decorating.

Despite a hectic schedule, I try to dedicate a couple of hours every day to writing, usually sometime between the hours of 9 P.M. and 3 A.M., after everyone else is in bed. I like to curl up on the couch with my laptop, a cup of hot tea, the cats, and become engrossed in my characters.

Along with reading other romance genres, I love suspense, fantasy, and horror, but paranormal fiction remains my favorite. I have several stories available at Amber Quill Press. While most involve some paranormal aspect, I have dabbled in contemporary, and more recently, science fiction. My full-length novel, More Than Prophecy, is a paranormal romance involving interplanetary travel to a world known as Zandar, and is currently available in both e-book and print format. In addition, I have several short erotica stories available as e-books. With such an active imagination, I always have something in works.

Description

<p>Have you ever seen a &quot;work of art&quot; worth millions, which looks like something your child just brought home from school?</p><p>The dual perspective of &quot;Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder&quot; and just a little bit of &quot;The Emperor's New Clothes&quot; is evident in this clever artwork story of a child who paints a fingerpaint print in class and then loses it in the wind on the way home.</p><p>Illustrated from the point of view of a child, whose identity is left to the imagination of the reader since all of the illustrations are what the child sees, the fingerpaint print is interpreted by official &quot;judges&quot; as well as by bystanders. Should people be influenced by what others see, or use their own self-esteem to make their own judgments? This coloring book version allows children to illustrate their own version of the book, and even to create a &quot;masterpiece&quot; of their own!</p><p>This is the fourth rhyming children's coloring book by this award-winning author, whose other bestselling books include David's ADHD, My Little Angel, The Golden Rule, Mice &amp; Spiders &amp; Webs...Oh My!, Manner-Man, Gimme-Jimmy, The Magic Word, Peter and the Whimper-Whineys and Santa's Birthday Gift.</p><p><strong>About The Author:</strong> Former teacher Sherrill S.

Chasing Booty is a story that sucked me in right from the start and held my attention until the end. And this is not my choice of genre. Ms. Leigh built a wonderful world that I could visualize in a short period of time. The plot was fun and exciting. The love scenes were hot and definitely out of the normal—in a good way.

They are both bounty hunters and nearly enemies. Their dialogue was realistic and the plot was interesting. I enjoyed reading about all the different sorts of aliens and planets and am amazed at the imagination it takes to create such creatures and places. Gaelyn and Reese meet up and decide to partner up for this particular bounty contract, resulting in an amusing clash of tempers and scorching passion. As for the ending, I can’t help but think that there is much more to this story and I wonder if there will be a sequel coming soon.</span></span></font></p><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-family:'Georgia Serif';"><font size="3"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';">Rated: 4 Delightful Divas<span>  </span></span></font></span></strong></p><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-family:'Georgia Serif';"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">--Melissa!</font></span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Georgia Serif';"><a href="http://ddrreviews.blogspot.com/2009/04/chasing-booty-by-shannon-leigh.html"><span style="font-weight:normal;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">http://ddrreviews.blogspot.com/2009/04/chasing-booty-by-shannon-leigh.html</font></span></a></span></strong><strong></strong></p><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><font size="3"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"> </span></font></strong></p><p></p> <h2 style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">Mochas Erotic Review</font></h2> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">The title gives the reader an idea of what to expect Gaelyn and Reese are<br />two strong willed characters chasing after a bounty.

Set in a futuristic setting, Shannon Leigh has a hero who is a bit of a rogue, one who has taunted, teased, and vexed the heroine to pieces. He plays a game of one upsmanship until he is caught in a bad situation. Then Reese turns to seduction, and with his devilish good looks, and the reputation of his species, he is truly &quot;sex on a stick,&quot; and a temptation too hard for Gaelyn to resist. Her heroine is strong, savvy, independent, and very resistant to Reese’s advances until now. For her to see such a proud one brought low makes her suspicious, but in her heart of hearts she cannot turn away from a colleague in need, even if it he was her chief tormentor.<span>  </span>If you are really interested in a good story, a pair of &quot;at the throat&quot; squabblers who only heat the action, and a down and dirty good futuristic adventure, then <strong><em>Chasing Booty</em></strong> is the book for you.
