Enter the world beyond the door

Peggy Ann Shumway is a historical fiction author whose novels explore faith, family, sacrifice, and the enduring impact of the past on the present. Her stories are grounded in extensive historical and genealogical research, bringing overlooked moments of American history to life through compelling characters and richly detailed settings.

​

She is the author of Vestiges and When a Stranger Knocks, and is currently developing two continuing series: the Faith, Freedom, and Posterity Series, an archaeological adventure exploring ancient records, lost artifacts, and questions of faith and history; and the Noah Gabriel Series, a sweeping historical saga spanning the Revolutionary War frontier, the Civil War, and beyond. Inspired by years of tracing family histories through archives, courthouses, cemeteries, and forgotten records, Peggy is passionate about uncovering the stories that connect generations.

When she isn't writing, she enjoys researching history, exploring genealogy, and creating immersive book and website designs that invite readers into the worlds she brings to life.
