전기 및 작가의 여정

Public biographies of Shantel Tessier are notably concise, emphasizing present life over detailed childhood or schooling. What is clear is that she is an American romance author based in Oklahoma, married to her high school sweetheart, with two daughters, and that she has built her public image around a blend of domestic normalcy and full-time genre work. Her official bio repeatedly returns to the same details: family matters most, she loves reading on the couch, enjoys concerts and movies, hates coffee, loves wine, and considers herself fortunate to write for a living, even if that means doing it in pajamas. Her recorded online presence as a reader and author reaches back at least to May 2012 on Goodreads. ((https://shanteltessier.com/about-me/))
