Amy Shannon is an American Storyteller, living in upstate New York, where she grew up. She shares the stories in her head by putting them on paper (virtual or real), and most of her stories focus on the strength of women.

Amy Shannon runs the book review website "Amy's Bookshelf Reviews," which has become extremely popular for Indie authors and their books. She runs her own “writer blog.”

In 2004, Amy was a cancer survivor. In 2005, she survived a domestic violence assault, which resulted in her spouse going to prison, and lifelong migraine headaches.

Amy has four sons, who are very supportive of their family, and her passion. Amy went back to school in 2011, and since then has received her bachelor’s in English, master’s in Adult Education, and master’s in business administration.

Amy Shannon is also the co-host of the podcast “The After Show with McKensie Stewart & Amy Shannon,” which can be heard on Blog Talk Radio, iHeartRadio, amazon music, iTunes, Stitcher, and Tune-In.

Amy Shannon suffers from chronic daily migraines from her domestic violence assault. In the past two years, she had developed neurological movement disorders that include tremors that affect her hands and torso, leg spasms and muscle jerks, which affect her gait, sleep, and ability to be steady on her feet. She was recently diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, which provides her joints with constant pain. She still does work for authors, such as writing reviews, but also editing and other document services.
