Welcome to a highly centralized situation

I was advised to get my shit in one place. I’m a good listener — a switchy-power-bottom — who, under the right circumstances, loves instructions. So, here you go, my official bio:

Shannon Brazil is a Gen X feminist author and performer whose work explores sex and sexuality, domestic anarchy, grief, motherhood, and other entanglements. Her debut novel (working title) TO JONES, a novel and a verb, has been aquired by Limit Zero Publications for early 2026 publication. Shannon carries on in Portland, Oregon with two partners, four grown kids, two little dogs, and ninety-seven houseplants. She’s bad at small talk, good at whiskey, and will dance until she blows out her left knee.

Chaos is her baseline.

WARNING: Extrovert

“Move over Miranda July. JONES is the story of an unstoppable wandering heart that breaks the walls that keep us quiet and small so that a woman can resuscitate a self. A burst of life force. An invitation to sing. This story will occupy your body and ask you how you want to change your life.”
