February is "Love an Author" month, and today we're going to love on Shannon Dittemore!
♥ ♥ ♥
♥ ♥ ♥
♥ ♥ ♥ Shannon Dittemore is the author of the Angel Eyes Trilogy. She has an overactive imagination and a passion for truth. Her lifelong journey to combine the two is responsible for a stint at Portland Bible College, performances with local theater companies, and a focus on youth and young adult ministry. When she isn't writing, she spends her days with her husband, Matt, imagining things unseen and chasing their two children around their home in Northern California.
Other ways you can love on Shannon today:
1. Visit her website at http://shannondittemore.com. You can subscribe to her author newsletter if you scroll down and look on the right-hand sidebar. You can also contact her through her website and email her a note of thanks and/or encouragement.

5. "Like" her Facebook page.
6. Follow her on Pinterest.
I was so enthralled by Angel Eyes, that I emailed Shannon through her website and told her so, having never spoken to her before. That's how we started talking and eventually became friends. Shannon is an amazing writer. We are so glad she's come to be a part of Go Teen Writers. She loves the beauty of words and you can really see that in her writing. When I read her stuff, I'm often marveling over the way she puts words together so powerfully. She has recently finished a new book—which I LOVED!—and is now working on something new. I hope it won't be long until I add more Shannon books to my shelf! Leave Shannon some encouraging comments below or shower her Facebook page with love today.
We love you, Shannon! ♥
Thank you for all you do, Mrs. Dittemore! ♥♥♥
