Author bio
Shannon Mayer was born in Canada on June 12, 1979, and she still writes from the southwestern edge of the country. Her corner of the world is wet, rural, and busy. She has lived the farm version of “there’s always something,” with animals, mud, escaped livestock, and chores pressing in around the writing desk.
She also grew up in a house where imagination was normal business. Mayer has joked about being raised among Star Wars fans, with enough siblings to make movie nights feel like a family event. That mix of noise, myth, and adventure makes sense when you look at the books she later chose to write.
The turn toward fiction came from a simple refusal to let go of magic. She has said she started writing because she didn’t want to grow up in a world where fairies, unicorns, dragons, and other impossible creatures had to be ruled out. Her early tastes leaned toward big fantasy, dark romance, and worlds with sharp teeth.
Her first self-published book was Sundered, a post-apocalyptic romance about love and survival after a supposed miracle cure goes wrong. She published it independently in 2011, then kept going with the kind of speed that indie fantasy readers know well.
Rylee Adamson changed the shape of her career.
In Priceless and the books that follow, Mayer built an urban fantasy world around a Tracker who finds missing children when human authorities have no answers. Readers tend to come for the action and supernatural trouble, then stay for Rylee’s fierce loyalty, found family, and complicated bonds with werewolves, witches, vampires, ogres, and demons.
Mayer didn’t stay in one lane. The Elemental books follow Larkspur, an earth elemental branded as the Destroyer. The Venom Trilogy folds Greek gods, monsters, magic, and cupcakes into contemporary fantasy. Forty Proof moves into paranormal women’s fiction, with a divorced woman in midlife discovering that reinvention can come with ghosts, bounty work, and a very strange new job.
She also writes with other authors. With KF Breene, she helped create Shadowspell Academy, a survival-heavy magical school series. With Kelly St. Clare, she co-wrote A Court of Honey and Ash and the wider Honey and Ice world, where fae courts, forbidden love, and political danger do most of the biting.
These days Mayer is still tied to farm life, family, animals, and a long shelf of fantasy worlds. Her books often circle the same ideas: ordinary people shoved into impossible danger, women who are underestimated, messy loyalty, love under pressure, and magic that is never as tidy as anyone hopes.
