Author Information

Southern author and former teacher, Shelley Burchfield enjoys writing ""what-if"" historical fiction that flips notorious events upside down. Shelley lives in beautiful upstate South Carolina with her husband and a menagerie of animals. She pulls inspiration for her novels from the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains beyond her windows and Southern tales told by friends and neighbors. A Southerner by birth, Burchfield's love of history is evident in her award-winning debut historical fiction novel, The Earth Remains, published in November 2021. Her second novel, Climbing To The Sun, was published in October 2023. Shana Pennington-Baird is a professional narrator with dozens of published titles. She is a professionally trained actor, with thirty years of work in the US and overseas. She works out of Seattle, Washington, in a broadcast-quality home studio and specializes in YA, mystery, and sci-fi titles. Her dialect proficiency includes British RP, Scottish, and Irish, as well as Southern, New York, and Midwest American. Unexpectedly, her heart exploded in Ireland in 2019 and she is an aortic dissection survivor with a title on Audible called Broken Wide Open about the experience. Following the heart incident, she survived both strokes and breast cancer-and Shana is now performing a show called, ""My Triology of Ologies"" debuting in Seattle in May 2025.
