Nell Saunders Graydon was born in Pineville, North Carolina, about ten miles south of Charlotte, where she lived for many years. She married Sterling Graydon and moved to Greenwood, South Carolina. She lived in the upcountry, but spent many summers on Edisto Island and developed a love for the low country and for its land, its people and the unique way of life there. When she was in her sixties, her active and energetic mind uncovered stories of the long ago and she began sending some of these tales to newspapers and magazines. They were accepted for publication and a writer was born. She wrote her first book on Edisto, the coastal island where she spent many summers. Tales of Edisto was an immediate success, and then followed Another Jezebel, a novel about a Yankee spy in South Carolina. Next she published Tales of Beaufort and then Tales of Columbia. Other titles include, Eliza of Wappoo, South Carolina Ghosts Tales, South Carolina Gardens, and Nell Graydon's Cookbook, From My House to Your House.
