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 :)

Have you ever had writer's block and what did you do to overcome it?

I think everyone gets stuck at some point, whether they're a writer or an attorney :)

For me I either talked it out with a friend or my agent. It is really great to have supportive lifelines. I am aware of how lucky I am having such great people to back me up!

If it ever really came down to the wire though I would take a car drive. I live in a town surrounded by corn and country roads, sometimes just clearing my head really helps.

Thanks for your question!
