Eowyn (pronounced A-o-win) LeMay Ivey was raised in Alaska and continues to live there with her husband and two daughters. She worked for nearly a decade as a bookseller at independent Fireside Books in Palmer, Alaska, and before that as a reporter for the local newspaper, The Frontiersman.

Her new novel, Black Woods, Blue Sky, was released in February 2025. To the Bright Edge of the World was published in 2016. Her debut novel, The Snow Child, has sold more than a million copies worldwide and is a New York Times bestseller published in more than 25 languages. It was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, a UK National Book Award winner, an Indie Choice Award for debut fiction, and a PNBA Book Award winner.

Eowyn will discuss her books and her writing process, focusing on how her life in Alaska and research adventures have informed her writing.
