ⓘ About Shannon Baker

While Shannon Baker always loved writing and was the winner of many awards when she was young, she never believed she would ever become a professional author. In college, she was taking business studies when her English professor encouraged her to consider changing her major since she was very good with language. Baker did not take the professor seriously, as she did not believe she could make any money writing. Still, his words stayed with her until years later, and isolated in the Sandhills, she started thinking of making something that was purely hers. Later on, she got signed on to Midnight Ink, which would become the publisher of arguably her best-known series in the “Nora Abbott Mystery” series.
