Elizabeth was born and raised in the rural mountains of Haiti where the songs of women on their way to market and the braying of a donkey formed the soundtrack of her life. Surrounded by storytellers, Elizabeth didn't have much choice in the matter – she simply fell in love with writing as a child, creating her first "book" in second grade.

Today, Elizabeth works full-time as the Senior Editor with Light Messages Publishing, a small independent publisher based out of Durham, NC. She has several books and their characters ambling about in her mind and hopes to set them free soon.

Robert Bloch
“Despite my ghoulish reputation, I really have the heart of a small boy. I keep it in a jar on my desk.”
Robert Bloch

Irina Lopatina
“From the beginning, I did not intend to create a typical classic fantasy. I wanted an organic, harmonious world where my story could evolve. If this world needed gnomes, I put them in there. As for drevalyankas, pikshas, bolugs and other totally original creatures, they appeared there somehow by themselves in the course of events, and then just began "to get under the feet of the main heroes"...”
Irina Lopatina

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.”
Rumi, Masnavi i Man'avi, the spiritual couplets of Maula

Gwendolyn Brooks
“Live not for Battles Won.
Live not for The-End-of-the-Song.
Live in the along.”
Gwendolyn Brooks, Report from Part One

Emily Brontë
“If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.”
Emily Jane Brontë , Wuthering Heights

Elizabeth Turnbull Excited for today's official release of A Sinner in Paradise by Deborah Hining! This book has some of the most beautiful descriptions of place and perhaps the best love scene I've ever read (and I've read a few).
