Author Interview + Contest: Shannon Delany

To celebrate her book birthday today, Shannon Delany has taken the time to answer a few questions for me! First and foremost- congratulations on the release finally being here, Shannon! Readers, stay tuned after the interview for your chance to win a copy of 13 T0 Life.


If you suddenly morphed into a wolf, what would be the first thing you would do?

Shake out my coat and start to explore the nearest wildwood with my heightened senses of hearing and smell.

Since wolves lick others in the mouth as a show of dominance/submission rather than the "kissing" we dub it to be, would you let a wolf lick you in the mouth?

Ew, no. Wolves also lick all sorts of spots on their own bodies... Need I say more? ;-)

If you could pair Jessie with any character from any book, what would be your pick?

I'm afraid Jessie's only fit to be paired with one guy and he's in my series. She'd either drive other guys crazy or be driven crazy(-er?) by them.

What is the most fearless thing you've done?

Submit a story I wrote by the seat of my pants to a major NYC publisher. ;-) That and jabbing a wounded (and therefore angry) horned bull in the rump with a shot of penicillin. Four times.

What kind of cookie would you describe yourself as?

Snickerdoodle. Relatively unknown, a little bit sweet, a little bit spicy with a finish that hopefully makes you think.


Thank you, Shannon, and congrats again on the release! To win a copy of 13 To Life, Fill out this form!
