Libby Tanner

Libby Tanner grew up in a small town in Northern California that would be quaint and charming in a fictional novel, but felt small and suffocating as a teenager. Yes, she left as fast as she could, and yes, she misses it very much.

In college Libby earned a degree in Communications. She wishes she would have studied creative writing instead of playing it safe, but also remembers she had student loans to pay off.

Since living abroad in Italy and living abroad in Chile, Libby speaks a nearly useless combination of Italian and Spanish that is understood by neither Italians nor Spanish-speakers.

She is the mother of four sweet hooligans and is married to the world’s sexiest accountant (the world’s only sexy accountant?).

The story she wrote in sixth grade, Jane Bond: A Date with Danger, received rave reviews from her parents, an A- from her teacher, and a “this is fine, I guess,” from her older brother. Her debut novel, Better Than Gelato, will by published by City Owl Press in August 2025.
