Shanell is a successful artist, writer, and author. Her passion for drawing and writing began at a very young age. Most of Shanells' writing is created from her own experiences growing up or of raising her four children. Shanell's love for her family has inspired her to use their names for characters in her writing. Shanell was born and raised in Topeka Kansas. She grew up with five brothers and two sisters. After receiving her GED in 2008, she began working in local schools with children with special needs. Today, she continues to write when she can find the time,and still works in a school. Shanell hopes that people will enjoy reading her books as much as she enjoys creating them.
