He has always loved to write poems, hip hop songs, and create varieties of artwork. Shannon is currently a special education teacher for a local high school and received post graduate degrees from SIUE and Lindenwood University. He is a single father of two, which inspired him to write children stories. His two sons, Jayden and Drew (also now known as Jerry & Draco), often asked Horn to tell bedtime stories before they would go to sleep. This story, in particular, stuck in the boys’ memories and caused Mr. Horn to focus on creating a legacy for his children. With his creativity and knack for writing rhyming lyrics, this came easy to him. He intends to continue writing stories that will excite young readers and make them enjoy saying aloud every rhymed line the same way he enjoyed reading Dr. Seuss stories as a child.view less
