Shannyn Schroeder

Shannyn Schroeder is a part-time English teacher, part-time editor, and full-time mom (even though her kids are about grown).

She writes contemporary romances (almost all set in the city of Chicago) about family, friends, and love. Whether it's a sprawling Irish American family with a ton of siblings or a group of friends who are found family, how everyone functions (or not) is often a core of her stories.

Shannyn is author of several romance series, including the O'Learys series, the For Your Love series, Daring Divorcees, and the Hot & Nerdy series. Shannyn also writes heist romances under the name Sloane Steele.
