| Yvonne Anderson |
Yvonne Anderson lives in Western Maryland with her dear, long-suffering husband of almost 40 years.
For the first two decades of her adulthood, Yvonne was so busy being wife, mom, legal admin, and happy Ohio homesteader that she scarcely had time to read a book, let alone write one. Then one day in 2002 when she was cleaning up after breakfast, a thought lodged itself under her skin and wouldn’t back out: Now’s the time to write a book.
Nine years later, she signed a publishing contract with Risen Books for the first three books in her science fiction series “Gateway to Gannah.” This is odd when you consider she never cared for sci-fi until she found herself writing it in 2007. God has the most delightful sense of humor!
Book #1 released in June 2011. The Story in the Stars was a 2012 Carol Award finalist in the Speculative Fiction category. Words in the Wind and Ransom in the Rock continue the story, and The Last Toqeph brings the series to a satisfying close.
Yvonne shares the occasional wise word on her personal site, YsWords, and tweets as @YAnderson101.

| Shannon McNear |
Shannon McNear has been writing one thing or another since third grade and finished her first novel at age
fifteen—but waited more than thirty years for her first book contract. In the meantime, she graduated from high school, attended college, met and married her husband, birthed nine children, lost one, taught five to drive, revised that first story innumerable times, and completed six others.
Her first published novella, "Defending Truth", in A Pioneer Christmas Collection (Barbour, 2013), had the honor of being a 2014 RITA nominee. Her second novella, "The Highwayman", releases May 2015 as part of The Most Eligible Bachelor Collection (Barbour). In addition to being part of The Borrowed Book team, she writes for Colonial Quills.
Recently transplanted to North Dakota after more than two decades in Charleston, South Carolina, she loves losing herself in local history. She’s a military wife, mother of 8, and a member of ACFW and RWA. When not sewing, researching, or leaking story from her fingertips, she enjoys being outdoors, basking in the beauty of the Dakota prairies. To learn more, visit her at Shenandoah's Eclectic Scribblings.
