Shannon Morgan has had a nomadic life involving, but not limited to, nearly being shot in Kashmir, playing a marathon 10-hour game of backgammon on the side of the road in Turkey, getting horribly seasick off the coast of Madagascar and milking a camel in the Sahara Desert. More recently, she spends her time with her husband and their four unruly boys in Wiltshire, England, where she collects a worrying number of unusual and rather macabre plants, many of them poisonous as they tend to produce the most interestingly weird flowers.
Her Little Flowers is Shannon's debut novel.
