T. ELIZABETH BELL swapped writing legal memos for crafting sea-breezy, toes-in-the-sand novels (Goats in the Time of Love, Counting Chickens, and her latest, Sheepish) inspired by her love of Martha’s Vineyard. A beachcomber, dog-lover, wild blueberry-and-beach plum picker and jam-maker, she also dabbles in silversmithing, glittering Mardi Gras shoes, and capturing the island’s beauty through her photography (@tb.dc.mv on Instagram and @telizabethbell on Facebook). You can find her essays on creativity and inspiration in her Substack, The Creative Current.
