Lily St. John McKee was born November 24, 1987, in Washington, D.C. She became captivated by books at an early age, and found refuge from childhood challenges in reading. Intrigued with theater, she joined youth programs at the Folger Shakespeare Library, and starred as Puck in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in high school. At Ohio's Muskingum University she double-majored in English and History, graduating cum laude in 2011, then earned a master's degree in creative writing at Bath Spa University in England. She joined efforts to help young people address bullying by peers, engaged in projects to protect sensitive environments, and rode horseback as a hobby. Devoted to her parents and two siblings, she traveled widely with her family - to Costa Rica, Iceland, Patagonia, Egypt, and Newfoundland, her setting for Crestfall. Finishing the novel in the autumn of 2014, she began writing another, set in colonial Massachusetts, before falling ill, then suffering acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Lily McKee passed away on March 19, 2014. All proceeds from the sale of Crestfall will be donated to support medical research on ARDS.
