About Fayla

Fayla is an award-winning author. She writes in the genres of historical fiction, historical suspense, and modern historical fiction.

Fayla Ott is a modern southern belle with a strong, southern accent and an even stronger cup of coffee that's always within reach. Living amidst the scenic views of the East Tennessee mountains, Fayla creates tales of American history, mostly set in the south, that capture the heart and challenge the spirit. When she's not crafting stories that time-travel to the days of yore, you can find her teaching college English as a full-time professor, home educating her youngest son, or buzzing around her local church and community, coffee in hand. 

Wife, Mom to four boys, and Marmee to her three grandchildren, Fayla is a family-oriented lady who enjoys museums, hiking, music, photography, and culinary experiments. She cherishes her time traveling with her family, exploring new places and creating memories. On weekends, she might be spotted tending to her garden and farm animals, proving that she’s as versatile as the characters in her novels. 

So buckle up and prepare to travel with Fayla, as her stories offer you a passport to the past, where you’ll find adventure, suspense, and inspiration on every page.
