New Beginnings and Updates Hi friends! It’s been quite some time since I’ve posted, and there are two very significant things in the works in early 2025. This website will soon be updated to help launch not one but TWO new businesses for me! One is called Elizabeth Van Tassel Studios and will focus on my artwork, writing life (yes I’m still writing, always a love!) and custom-designed gift products that will be featured in an online store and at pop-up events in different locations, many of which will be in the greater Boise, Idaho area but some may…
Warriors Against The Storm Anthology
I wanted to share some good news and thank you all for your prayers and support the last several months especially! As some of you know, I’ve been working on fundraisers for a dear author friend who lost her home and wellness to mold poisoning.

So, without…

A Moment of Beauty at Filoli Gardens I received the most wonderful email last week saying, with precautions in place, a local historic garden I love to visit (and want to write about some day) was opening this week. You can bet I was there the day and moment they opened with my mask (that makes me look like a gangster) and took a walk through their beautiful paths that twist around the historic home.

Writing Resources During Covid Virus Quarantine
Writing Resources During Covid Virus Facing this unique moment in time in productive and hopeful communities February began with me typing much of my second book in the hospital with my father recovering from a difficult fall and hip surgery.

At the time of writing this, it’s more than eight weeks since Covid Virus stay-at-home began for my husband and I and our two teen boys in Northern California. We are doing okay so far,…
