Shannon O'Neil

Hi, I’m Shannon O’Neil—a contemporary fiction author, western-influenced artist, and professional marketer. This is where all the pieces of my creative life come together—books that make you laugh, artwork inspired by the open range, and a little marketing magic sprinkled in for good measure.

Most recently, I’ve ventured into the art world with my first-ever collection of limited-edition watercolor prints, Boots, Bones & Blushes. It’s a mix of flirty cowboys, sassy skeletons, and western romance with a playful edge—and just the beginning of what’s to come.

Take a look around, explore my books, artwork, and creative projects, and if something speaks to you, I’d love for you to bring a piece of it home. Thanks for stopping by!
