Shawnna Perigo

Shawnna has a background in the medical field and has earned her writing stripes the old-fashioned way–lots and lots of hard work, baby! She has won a few awards, is still writing her books the way she wants, and lovin’ every minute of it. And she’s proud to say she’s even achieved her dream of becoming an editor. Who knew?

She has a love of sass and edgy, strong heroes. She is open to just about anything except historical and has enjoyed books from multiple genres because, hey, good writing is good writing. But, she prefers Contemporary and erotica and it’s a must to make herfeelsomething.

‘Make me cry, make me laugh, make me sit on the edge of my seat–and I’m sold.’
