Jodi Lea Stewart

Hey there... thanks for visiting!

As the author of eight novels, I have a rather simple method for writing. I channel everything I’ve experienced, heard, seen, read, or researched into my readers through the tantalizing written word. I adore producing unexpected reading adventures in different parts of the world with characters difficult to forget.

I call myself a high-concept author with a literary pen because I firmly believe readers want to experience more than a plot or plot lines, more than nonstop action, and more than a quick genre formula. I think they want to know how the characters feel during their experiences, what they look like, what they wear, what they think, and how they are forever changed by what happens to them and becaus

Shannon Mayer

A long time ago, in a galaxy far away, I was born into a family of Star Wars nuts. I have a lot of siblings (somewhere I lost count but I think there was more than could be numbered on one hand) and being one of the young padawans I was subjected to Star Wars marathons, on a regular basis. If you've read any of my books you'll see there is often a reference to said movies as a small homage to my upbringing. May the force be with you and all that jazz.

I started writing when I realized I didn't want to grow up not believing in magic, or not believing in creatures everyone else said didn't exist. That being said, I have never seen a fairy, unicorn or dragon. I had a neighbour who swore they fed the leprechauns in their garden, but I never caug
