Middle Grade Fantasy Author, Public Speaker
I write Middle Grade Fantasy. You might uncover a gem or two. You’ll definitely find legend and adventure.

Elizabeth lives in the Northwest with her two sons and husband of more than twenty years. She loves wandering through gardens, exploring lakes, dabbling in painting, savoring her favorite coffee, and dreaming up stories with other writers.
