All of Amy's stories are about inner strength, as sometimes no one realizes how strong they truly can be until they think they've reached their limit. Her latest collection of her work categorizes these stories in one collect, called "Empowerment" ad it's due for release Nov. 1 2016.
Amy Shannon is the author of about 100 stories, with more than half as part of different series or sagas. Once she falls in love with her characters, it's hard to let go of them. Her first novel "Unwritten Life" started off the Sars Springs Saga. Other series, have several books within a series, and they are slightly open-ended in case of a new idea for the series. "Fractured Tears: A Struggle for Justice" is a fictionalized version of her own experience with Domestic Violence. "Chains" was released to show the inner strength when all hope seems lost.
Fettering Shadows was released in June.

Coming in October is the revamped "Contrary Measures"
