Fawn Weaver, bestselling author of Happy Wives Club and Love & Whiskey: The Remarkable True Story of Jack Daniel, His Master Distiller Nearest Green, and the Improbable Rise of Uncle Nearest, is a celebrated entrepreneur and historian known for revitalizing untold American narratives. A two-time New York Times bestselling author, Weaver intertwines themes of partnership, legacy, and resilience across her works, drawing from her 25-year career as CEO of Grant Sidney Inc. and her groundbreaking leadership as founder of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey—the fastest-growing American whiskey brand in U.S. history.

A sought-after speaker and Endeavor board member, her work has redefined Tennessee whiskey’s heritage, earning global acclaim and over 1,000 awards for the Uncle Nearest brand.
