Shannon S. Lesane is a freelance writer based in Raleigh, North Carolina, with a passion for poetry, short stories, and reflective essays on love, family, faith, and forgiveness. Raised in East Arcadia, a small town in rural Bladen County, North Carolina, she grew up surrounded by storytelling and deep community ties, which continue to shape her work.

Writing has always been her way of understanding the world by exploring life’s struggles, joys, and the bonds between generations. Her poems, vignettes, and letters serve as a legacy of love and resilience, especially for her family.

When not writing, Shannon enjoys reading, gardening, and traveling with her husband, Charlie. She draws inspiration from everyday moments — quiet mornings, family gatherings, and the lessons found in both hardship and grace.
