Book Overview

by Shannon Page (Author)

Shannon Page has been a backwoods hippie child, a nude model, a trophy wife, a failed realtor, a successful copy editor, and a wine enthusiast. She has been monogamous and polyamorous, vegetarian and enthusiastically carnivorous, poor and rich. But she has always been a writer. In this engaging collection of essays on topics ranging from personal growth to money to relationship styles to life on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest, Page explores the pressing questions of life, such as why she never wanted children, why do we have to wear bras anyway, how to make cassoulet, what to do when you're snowed in, what it was like to pose for Playboy, and how to write a novel in three weeks.Other essays include reflections on the loss of parents, money and inequality in relationships, reclaiming a yoga practice after falling badly out of shape, and waiting (or NOT waiting) for permission to do what you really want to do.Tying all these threads together is Page's warm and welcoming voice. So get comfortable, put your feet up, and have a favorite beverage by your side-because once you start reading, you won't want to stop.

About Shannon Page

Shannon Page was born on Halloween night and spent her early years on a back-to-the-land commune in northern California. A childhood without television gave her a great love of the written word. At seven, she wrote her first book, an illustrated adventure starring her cat Cleo. Sadly, that story is out of print, but her work has appeared in Clarkesworld, Interzone, Fantasy, Black Static, Tor.com, the Proceedings of the 2002 International Oral History Association Congress, and many anthologies, including the Australian Shadows Award-winning Grants Pass, and The Mammoth Book of Dieselpunk. Books include Eel River; the collection Eastlick and Other Stories; and Our Lady of the Islands, co-written with the late Jay Lake. Our Lady received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Library Journal, was named one of Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2014, and is short-listed for the Endeavour Award. Forthcoming books include The Queen and The Tower, first book in The Nightcraft Quartet, and a sequel to Our Lady. Edited books include the anthology Witches, Stitches & Bitches, from Evil Girlfriend Media, as well as several well-received novels from Per Aspera Press. Shannon is a longtime yoga practitioner, has no tattoos, and is an avid gardener at home with her husband, Mark Ferrari, in Portland, Oregon. Visit her at www.shannonpage.net.
