Sheila Redling is a Huntington local, a graduate of Georgetown University and 15-year veteran of the WKEE morning radio show.
After hanging up her headphones, she turned to fiction. Her first thriller, FLOWERTOWN, sold 50,000 copies in the first six weeks. Since then, she has released a series of mind-bending thrillers and sci-fi novels, including DAMOCLES; the Dani Britton series; and BAGGAGE, her first novel set in West Virginia.
She also co-wrote the comedy stage play, One Night in Venice, with Lulu Smith. A recipient of the West Virginia Library Association’s 2022 Literary Merit Award, Redling has been a presenter at Bouchercon, Left Coast Crime, WV Writers and more. Now, with author Tobi Doyle, she co-directs Intensive Genre Workshops, a workshop program helping emerging genre writers reach their writing goals.
Redling also acts as guest liaison at the Huntington Area CVB, promoting artists and events, and welcoming guests to the city she loves. When all of that is done, she lives in Huntington with a wide array of wildlife.
