About

Shannon Lee began writing about home improvement in 2006. Inspired by her first fixer-upper in Nashville, she has since lovingly restored homes from Los Angeles to the Georgia coast. When she’s not exploring real estate, she’s writing about home improvement, higher education, and healthcare. She also writes novels now and then.
