Shannon Kempe, Neighbor

A Northwest native, Shannon Kempe has been a longtime lover of all things books. Kempe considers her library of just under 500 to be sub-par to what it should be. Although electronic readers make traveling so much easier, there will never be a substitution for flipping the physical pages of a hardback book in print.

Kempe has recently left the corporate world to pursue her passion to join the great authors on her bookshelf. She is a now a freelance writer working on her first novel.
