Author

Mary Ann Shaffer

3 books, mostly historical fiction, for Bloomsbury Publishing and Random House Audio, 2008–2019

Mary Ann Shaffer worked as an editor, librarian, and bookseller before turning to fiction. Her lifelong interest in the Channel Islands inspired her first novel, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society; when illness prevented her from completing the manuscript, her niece Annie Barrows helped finish it. Shaffer died in February 2008, shortly before the novel was published.
