Friends, Romans, and Yankees...I'm Olivia deBelle Byrd, and I'm pleased as can be to welcome you to my new website. For those of you I have not had the pleasure of meeting, you are doubly welcome to come in and sit a spell and to explore a bit of my world and my work. I am the author of Save My Place  and Miss Hildreth Wore Brown-Anecdotes of a Southern Belle (2010).
 
Now in case you haven't guessed, I'm a Southerner so I tell stories that are sometimes inspired by real life and not necessarily the God's honest truth. Truth may be stranger than fiction, but fiction INSPIRED by strange and wonderful Southern truths can be found in my humorous book Miss Hildreth Wore Brown.
 
Southern humor can also be sweet and old-fashioned. You might want to pull out the Kleenex for my newest book, Save My Place. It is a love story that will pull at your heartstrings and bring back wonderful memories of a South gone by.
 
I hope you enjoy my site and my books, and I invite you to drop me a line as my readers are some of my favorite people. Visit my facebook, youtube & pinterests  pages. You will find links throughout the site. Enjoy!
