Elizabeth Ann Boyles

Elizabeth Ann Boyles brings historical eras to life with unusual stories of adventure, danger, and opposing cultures, often including a thread of romance. She gained a love for the Far East, one source of the stories' settings, when she lived in Japan, where she met her missionary husband. She also spent many years teaching and building relationships with her international students at a Christian university in Dallas.

Although Elizabeth Ann’s great-great-uncle, John Greer Walsh, was the first U.S. consul to Nagasaki and her great-grandfather participated in the trading firm of Walsh, Hall & Co., based in Japan, she had little interest in the country until she was given the opportunity to represent a Christian organization there. She found the Far East to be like a second home.

After her husband of fifty years took his final step into heaven, she moved to Colorado. She treasures spending time at the foot of the Rocky Mountains with her daughter and son while entreating her three Texas grandsons to visit often.
