Due to the interests of her parents Shannon Kauderer was almost born at a science fiction convention. The science theme stuck as Shannon took to her own interests, getting a BS in Chemistry while writing her own science fiction on the side. Since then, through many writing challenges, she's expanded genres to include romance and fantasy too! Throughout it all she's been dedicated to the local writing community, and this publishing company is her way of continuing to build it up!
