Shonah Stevens lives in the Queensland hinterland, between Brisbane and the beautiful Gold Coast. She has a house on two acres of land with her partner, small dog and almost thirty different species of parrots.She is a passionate animal lover and donates to various animal causes.
Shonah has been a lover of mystery novels her whole life, she cut her teeth on Agatha Christie when she was six years old and has read over 1,000 books. She thinks books are much better than movies as they allow people’s imagination to blossom.
