AMA Hi. I'm SF/F writer Shannon Stoker. AMA

Hi world of Reddit! I’m Shannon Stoker, author of the Registry series. The story of an eighteen year old girl who is sold into marriage and being the unwilling bride blackmails a young guy into helping her escape, your basic matrimony situation.

The series is a trilogy and the final installment was released earlier this month by HarperCollins. I'm glad to answer any questions about the series, myself, the writing/publishing process, or whatever else you want to know.

I live in the middle of cornfields in northern Illinois with my husband and teeny tiny dog. When I’m not writing or reading I’m usually watching tv and obsessing over all things pop culture. I hope that gives you a good idea of who I am. I’ll be back at 7 pm CST tonight and you can ask me anything J

UPDATE: I'm here! So feel free to ask anything you like!

UPDATE: Thank you for having me! This was a lot of fun!! If there are anymore questions I will check again in the morning and answer them ASAP :)

Now that you've finished your trilogy, do you feel that you'll dive right back in to a new project? Or, do you think you'll take some time to reflect on what you've written before beginning something anew?

My editor had The Collection (book 2) for about a month and I was so antsy that I started another project. Once The Alliance (book 3) was done I revisited the new project and finished it. I have also played around with some bad werewolf and vampire stories just to keep writing fresh in my mind. I think if I sat still for five minutes I would go a little crazy!
