I’m Shannyn Schroeder write romances based on family. I write the type of families that I always wanted, the kind I hope I’ve built. My characters get drunk, say fuck, and eat a ton of pizza as they try to navigate life and love. Whether it’s a big family of siblings unable to mind their own business or a group of friends who are thicker than thieves or a crew of criminals learning how to work together as a team, readers can relate to my characters and cheer for them.

How did you hear about this event?

This will be my 5th time attending and I’m not sure where I first heard about it. What I do remember is hearing people rave about how good it is, so I knew I wanted to be part of it.

What is a book of yours you wish more people read?

If you’ve ever seen me at a signing, you’ve seen my. “Fuckin’ Jimmy” shirt (and stickers). Jimmy O’Malley is my favorite hero (so far) and his book is Catch Your Breath. But I also wish more people read In Too Deep (where Jimmy does get a cameo). It’s the start of a new series with a different family in the same Chicago neighborhood.

What is one fun fact about you?

I was once thrown out of a Little Caesar’s for saying “fuck”

Elle Boon
Hi, I’m Elle Boon. I’m a reader first and foremost…and of course if you know me you might know me as the crazy lady with purple hair. I live in Middle-Merica with my hubby Mr B and Kally Kay my 13 year old black lab who also thinks she’s my writing partner. (She happens to sit next to me begging for treats and takes a lot of credit). I have two amazing kids, Jazz and Goob, and am blessed to be a MiMi to one adorable little nugget named Romy or RomyGirl who is 6 years old, and a equally adorable nugget named Rio Mac who was born in 2024. Being a Mimi is seriously the best job EVER.
I love writing, reading, and driving my big ole’ jacked up red Jeep Ruby 3.0 with my hubby. I am known for saying “Bless Your Heart” and dropping lots of F-bombs (I mean lots of F-BOMBS, but who is keeping track?). Seriously, I think if there was ever a cross between a trucker and a sailor with a construction worker dialect I would be that poster child 💜

I write what I love to read, and that’s romance, whether it’s about Navy SEALs, HOT as F**K MC heroes, or paranormal alphas. #dontlookdown is a thing you will need to google. “Wink” With all my stories, you’re guaranteed a happily ever after, no matter what twisted thing my mind has come up with. My biggest hope is that after readers have read one of my stories, they fall in love with my characters as much as I have. I truly love creating new worlds and sometimes even words IYKYK. I have many more stories just waiting to be written and promise they’re coming. P.S. I can totally turn just about anything dirty, including simple words, lol. It’s an art 💜

I believe in happily ever after and can guarantee you will always get one within the pages of my books.

XOXO,
Elle Boon

I’m 51 and still have the blanket from when I was a baby. It’s called “Softy” and I take it with me everywhere. Mind you, it’s now a version of the original, but I still have one just like the original. It’s pink with purple silky edges that I rub lol.
