Fitz revealed to Sophie the true nature of her abilities. More importantly, he came from a place where people like Sophie were welcomed. She had never met anyone who shared her gift. Keeper of the Los Cities: Sophie Foster thought she was the only one. Even though the pair divorced, the author kept using the name because it was already associated with the ‘Keeper of the Lost Cities’ series. ‘Messenger’ is not Shannon’s maiden name. Shannon received the California Young Reader Medal (Middle School, Junior, High) in 2017. But once it was released, she started producing new novels at a much faster pace. It took her years to write and publish her first novel. But finally, she surrendered to the voices and recreated the stories on paper. For all intent and purpose, she was happy living in the suburbs with her cats. That should have marked the end of Shannon’s time in the limelight. She was eventually forced to get a regular job, one that she did not hate and which she could rely on to pay her bills. The various jobs she landed in the industry in the months that followed did little to change her tune. In fact, by the time she left college, Shannon had already concluded that she wasn’t suited for Hollywood. She expected to pursue a long and lucrative career in Hollywood.
The professor in question pushed Shannon to experiment with screenwriting, which is what she did. She was fortunate enough to land a professor who saw and nurtured her talent. Shannon was forced to accept that writing was her calling, not drawing. It allowed her to stretch her writing muscles which, in turn, showed her that she could use her words to reproduce on the page the ideas she had envisioned in her mind in ways that had eluded her in her art class. Shannon’s new class changed everything for the author. Rather than abandoning art altogether, Shannon took what she thought would be a short break by enrolling in a Broadcast Writing and Production class. The pictures she drew fell far below the standard she wanted to attain. The author found that she could never reproduce on paper the amazing images she often saw in her mind. It did not take her long to realize that she did not have the aptitude for art. Shannon was so serious about her dreams that she became an art major in college. She was convinced that she would grow up to become a Disney animator. Shannon loved Disneyland and stories with Princesses. However, the author wasn’t particularly interested in writing. When she was a child, Shannon did not dream of becoming a published author.
