A lifelong resident of Monmouth County, Shannon recently moved from Highlands back to her home town of Oceanport. Shannon is a former managing editor of The Hub newspaper and was once a reporter for the now defunct Wall Herald, may she rest in peace. In addition, Shannon did a stint at Working Woman magazine and has freelanced for Northeast Boating (formerly Offshore) and New Jersey Countryside magazines. Currently you can find her covered in paint and spackle as she remodels her house for sale.
