About Shannon Layla
Why did I write Wacky Jacky? Because I love monsters. As simple as that may sound, it’s the truth.
Ray Harryhausen introduced me to my first monster with the 1981 classic Clash of the Titans- it was love at first sight.
When I’m not imagining strange worlds, I’m watching the sun set over the Sonoran desert as a monsoon brews off in the distance, stirring the scent of rain and creosote.
I also enjoy driving twenty miles down a dirt road to stare at a bunch of rocks, hiking through canyons, checking out car shows and hoping to see a 1979 Trans Am, and trekking off to another adventure with my husband.
