I’m Shannon.

I’m Shannon A. Kornelsen. I’m an award-winning writer.

In my fiction, I tend to explore the hectic, wondrous complications of coming-of-age.

I co-produced and co-wrote the documentary THE GAME CHANGERS (executive produced by James Cameron & Arnold Schwarzenegger) and I am currently producing and writing the sequel.

What else is true? I live in a sweet old house in a sweet old village where two sweet old rivers kiss. I’m left-handed like my Opa. I once spent 24 hours in a leghold trap. I was nearly hit by lightning. I’d do anything for animals. Case in point: I once used my skirt to swaddle a sickly cormorant.
