Shannon Waverly

Shannon Waverly has always lived on the southeast coast of Massachusetts, an area she loves and frequently uses as the setting for her stories. Born in Fall River, a city better known as the home of Lizzie Borden (of ax fame), the author grew up in a lively, old-fashioned household that at one time encompassed four generations.

She graduated from Stonehill College, near Boston, with a B.A. in English and, two months later married the young man whod been editor of the literary magazine during her freshman year the very same young man whod embarrassed her totally by rejecting a story shed submitted.
