Snipping the Thyme

S.L. Davis is a passionate storyteller, artist and founder of the brand, Snipping the Thyme. Through her Travel, Art & Stories, she enjoys creating immersive experiences for readers of all ages. As the author of The Anchor Gate Series, she invites readers into a world where myth meets mystery, and two teenage sisters uncover ancient secrets across sun-drenched coastlines, historic cities, and rugged mountain paths.

With a background that spans modeling, motherhood, real estate, and travel writing, Shauna infuses her fiction with a heartfelt authenticity that connects readers to place, purpose, and possibility. Her stories often feature strong female protagonists, sibling bonds, cultural encounters, and lightly magical realism rooted in folklore and forgotten history.

Shauna and her husband, a retired NFL kicker, have been married for 33 years. Together, they’ve raised two daughters and built a creative life filled with adventure, faith, and family traditions. Their travels and experiences, whether on the road, on the field, or in quiet moments at home, inspire the emotional depth and wanderlust woven throughout her work.
