AVAILABLE NOW! My new childrenâs book releases today! Hop on over (or slither, if you prefer) and grab your copy of Froggy and Snakey and the Pincher Bug Buffet. Itâs available in paperback and eBook formats. This is a great book for kids who love little critters, and may be especially helpful for any picky eaters in your house ;) This project is very close to my heart, and I hope youâll all enjoy it! â„
You can see a preview of the book here!
Hereâs a first look at the cover for my upcoming children's book, launching January 31st! I canât wait to share it with all of you!!
Title Reveal!! The proof copy of my upcoming book arrived before the holidays, and after making a few edits, I think itâs good to go! Stay tuned for an official release date for Froggy and Snakey and the Pincher Bug Buffet, coming soon!
*And it's off!* Iâve just ordered a proof copy of my upcoming childrenâs book! Which means soon Iâll be holding it in my hands for the first time! Exciting times, indeed!! More updates to come :)
âOnce there was a frog named Froggy and a Snake named Snakey and they lived in a forest near a pond.â
When I was a little girl, those words meant my dad was about to tell an awesome bedtime story about my favorite little forest critters. Froggy and Snakey were his invention, and they quickly became cherished characters for my sister and me. We would play make-believe games about them while we explored outside. We even had a little green-striped scarf-thing that we pretended was Snakey (I still have it, as it happens).
Sadly, I donât remember a single story line from the many tales my dad told us. No special details. But I do remember that opening line: âOnce there was a frog named Froggy and a snake named Snakey and they lived in a forest near a pond.â It was the same every time. Consistent, reliable. And the stories were always fun and full of joy. Traits intrinsic to my dad.
He passed away unexpectedly eight years ago after an accident at his home. The heartache over this loss will never disappear, but neither will the memories of our time together.
For years Iâve wanted to create a book in honor of my dad, a way of memorializing these bedtime stories so full of love and fun, and now itâs nearly finished! While I couldnât remember any details of his stories from when I was so young, my sister remembered that they often featured pincher bugs. So thatâs what this book is about.
More updates to come!
This is just the first of many frog puns, let me assure you.
Many of you know I have been working on a childrenâs book for the last year or so. I am just wrapping up illustrations, and itâs time to start sharing this project with you! My last big task is the cover design, then Iâll be getting it all formatted and on its way to print. This book means a lot to me, for reasons I will soon share, and Iâm so excited to see it coming to completion. Please stay tuned for more, and I hope youâll enjoy this first adventure of my dear little friends, Froggy and Snakey.
Hello, dear readers!
Things have been pretty quiet around here, so Iâm having a great, big eBook giveaway to kick off the summer! ALL my eBooks are free on Kindle (and the free Kindle App for your phone, tablet, etc.) now through June 7th. Thatâs four books! Find them right here! This includes my beloved first fantasy novel, a stand-alone called Between the Light and Dark. Think elves, dark elves, mortal enemies and unexpected allies, maybe even a sweet love story sprinkled in ~ It also includes all three books of my Weaverâs Stone Trilogy: Weaverâs Stone, Galreyvaâs Heir, and Chrysolin Heart (available free for the firstâand perhaps only??âtime). This series has forbidden magic, rising stakes, romantic tension (with no spice, as always; youâre welcome), and divine interventionâfor better or worse. In other news, I am nearly finished with my current project: my first childrenâs book! More details on that to follow soon. Aaand I may have casually just started my next fantasy novel. So. Stay tuned for that too :) Happy reading to you! For previews of my books and anything else you should like to know, you can always visit me at shannenlcolton.com.
The wait is over! Chrysolin Heart, the third and final book in the Weaverâs Stone trilogy, is available now! Paperback and Kindle editions can be purchased here. Thanks to my wonderful readers for coming on this journey with me! Iâm beyond excited to share this final chapter with you.
Coming NEXT WEEK! The third and final book in the Weaverâs Stone series. Kindle pre-orders are open now!
Havenât read the first two books yet? Got you covered! Weaverâs Stone and Galreyvaâs Heir are free on Kindle now through May 26th. Read on any device with the free Kindle app!
Writing update: the final draft of Chrysolin Heart is complete!! Feels like such a milestone to finish my first trilogy. When I started book 3, I thought it might be the shortest of the series, but it ended up the longest, weighing in just under 122,000 words. Will be working on formatting, cover design, and proofreading next. Hoping to release later this spring! I also finally cleaned my desk enough for a workspace photo! XD
Between the Light and Dark is free on Kindle now through December 27th! Merry Christmas! đ
At long last, I have finished the first draft of Weaverâs Stone Book 3! This seems like the perfect time for a title announcement, so here it is: Chrysolin Heart. This is the third and final book in the series, and while it was a challenge to write, Iâm very pleased with how it all came together. I canât wait to share it with you! Now, the editing begins â

The Chilling Tales for Dark Nights Anthology is Finally Here!
It took longer than expected, but Iâm thrilled to finally invite you to check out Volume 1 of the Chilling Tales for Dark Nights anthology!
It contains 30 illustrated short horror stories, including my own âThe Porcelain Handâ.
Hereâs an excerpt:
Although Alan had thus far insisted he felt no guilt regarding Grandmotherâs death, there must have been something, at least on a subconscious level, that worked its way out through his dreams. Black, cold dreams. Dreams of stiff limbs, icy soreness in his joints. He could see nothing, but he heard, as if from far away, a voice calling. A creaky voice. A voice he knew and hoped never to hear again.
Alan sat up in the nether hours between night and morning. It had to be guilt. It was the most sensible explanation.
He was about to roll over and fall back asleep when he heard a sound from out in the hallway. A thump, as of a heavy, linen-filled sack dropped on the floor, followed by an interminable dragging. Then there was a period of silence. A moment for Alan to realize he was holding his breath, and it started again.
Thump. Draaag.
The sound moved along the hall.
Thump. Draaag.
It drew near Alanâs bedroom door.
Thump.
His heart beat out an echo to that final, gentle impact. That impact right outside his room. He waited for it to move on, to continue down the hall, to leave him alone.
Thump.
You can buy the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Chilling-Tales-Dark-Nights-Terror/dp/194514002X/
