About the Book
In the heartland of America, the humble town of Chico springs to life through the pages of Friedrich Schmidt's journal. "Whispers of the Prairie: The Chico Chronicles" is an intimate glimpse into the soul of a Kansas town poised on the cusp of change. This epistolary novel weaves a fictional tapestry inspired by the real-life ebbs and flows of the 19th-century frontier. Through Friedrich's entries and the articles of the Chico Advertiser, we experience the dreams and realities of his family as they navigate the joys and challenges of pioneer life. Their tale is one of hope, resilience, and the enduring spirit of a community facing the winds of progress. This is Chico's story. This is America's story. A testament to the bonds that withstand the test of time and the spirit that forever seeks the horizon. Join us on a journey back in time where the legacy of the prairie lives on.

In 2014, Dustin Ray Shannon and Faith Dincolo collaborated with Arcadia Publishing to create "Images of America: Saline County Kansas." The book's success spurred residents of Wichita to encourage Dustin to write a photographic history of Joyland amusement park. Inspired by this support, Dustin embarked on the project, resulting in the publication of the book in September 2015. The book was a hit, selling hundreds of copies. In 2023, Dustin released a final edition, featuring an updated layout and two new chapters on the Central Avenue and Mathewson Lane Joyland, as well as the Joyland Park Gunfighters. After the success of the Joyland book, Dustin turned his attention to the Joyland Park Gunfighters, publishing a novel titled "Whispers of the Prairie: The Chico Chronicles," set in a ghost town. Building on this momentum, he founded a subsidiary to publish historical books, both fiction and non-fiction. In May 2024, Shannon Publishing will continue its journey by releasing new titles.
