Peaches are the color of orange sorbet, the ocean is like blue green algae, the rocks where I grew up are red, and lavender is the color I became when I turned 28. Lavender is a collection of poetry, but more than that it is a collection of moments. These words have followed me through the past ten years of life like little shadows and have come to fruition as a book through both vulnerability and bravery. Within Lavender I am able to share the intricacies of seeing beauty in all stages of life; love, loss, mistakes, failure, happiness and new beginnings. Lavender is the way the dust settled around me, it is the place I found as home, it is who I am.

Shaunna Angell was born and raised on a ranch on the central coast of California. She earned a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology and a Master's degree in education, while working as a freelance journalist and copy editor. She spends her days teaching Biology to 9th graders and escaping to the ocean or mountains with her dog every weekend. Shaunna began writing poetry and short stories as a child, and hasn't set her pen down since. She writes about the peace she feels sitting under oak trees, the beauty of love and loss fitting together like puzzle pieces, and about the growing pains in learning to find a home within herself.
