Elizabeth grew up in the Sacramento Valley .  Her ventures have been varied and include founding and publishing a computer magazine for kids.  More than anything else, she loves to write.

Elizabeth, now a grandmother to three, lives in the Bay Area. Lately she has been returning to her roots as a new horse owner, and has been working with a trainer outside of Sacramento in the lost skill of carriage driving.

Elizabeth and her husband, Allen, have traveled extensively. They visited Spain last year and she became enthralled with the spectacle of the bullfight. Wanting to experience the thrill of the ring, she took a four day intensive with Matador Dinnis Borba. On the fourth day she attended a tiente, a bloodless event designed to test the courage of calves earmarked for breeding. Elizabeth entered the ring twice and fought two brave calves.

During the year she teaches a writing class for troubled teens.
