Libby Ann Boydstun grew up spending summers and holidays with her grandparents in Charleston, South Carolina. As a child, she fell in love with the Lowcountry’s rich history, inherent beauty, and buried darkness. Those experiences inspired her love of Southern fiction and continue to shape the stories she writes today. She’s been writing as long as she can remember, though she wrote her first “book” at the age of 12. Her first self-published novel, I and My Annabel Lee, began as handwritten pages in a notebook during her high school study hall. Since that first manuscript, she has gone on to publish two more novels: Come Hell or High Water and Oleander Cottage. All of her novels are inspired by the Lowcountry, the sea, and her family. Outside of writing, her creativity finds its way into painting, photography, baking, crafting, and countless other artistic pursuits. Her greatest inspiration is her husband, Eli. She writes Southern fiction that explores family, identity, love, and the secrets that linger beneath the surface of the South.
