Hi, I'm Shannon

Hi, I'm Shannon

I'm a wife, mom, GiGi to five wonderful grandchildren, and the founder of Willow & Word.

I live in Waynesboro, Georgia, where faith, family, and everyday moments inspire the stories I write.

What began as one quiet whisper from God became a calling to create faith-filled stories that help children discover God's love in everyday moments.

Every book is written with one prayer in mind—that every child who turns its pages will know they are deeply loved by God.

How It All Began

Faith-Filled Stories


Discover faith-filled stories that plant seeds of hope, courage, kindness, and truth in young hearts.

Author Visits & Speaking Events


I would love to partner with churches, schools, libraries, homeschool groups, podcasts, community organizations, and special events. Together, we can encourage children and families through faith-filled stories that point hearts to Jesus.
