The Author's favorite book she enjoyed writing was 'The Shaman and The Mafia,' as she shares,

"The creation of this story has been an exciting journey. I would love to meet all of the characters in this book in real life. Elizabeth's nonfiction books and novels are available on Amazon and Amazon Kindle and are featured on fine literary book sites and magazines.

Elizabeth was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA., until the age of sixteen, when she entered a New York State Convent and became a nun for twenty years, but she yearned for a more authentic spiritual life. Elizabeth left the convent and chose to attend Syracuse University to earn her B.A.

Returning to her native state of California, she attended and received her M.A. in psychology from Chapman University. The Author began working for over thirty years in family counseling as a social worker and probation officer, working with troubled teens and abused children. She is a speaker, spiritual mentor, and advisor.

Elizabeth is happily married and enjoys writing books for her readers and fans worldwide. When the Author is not writing, she works out with a personal trainer to stay fit and healthy; she loves long walks on the beach with her husband and dog.

She enjoys reading good books by her favorite authors, such as Geraldine Brooks, Jerry Archer, Joseph Murphy, and Michael Connelly. Elizabeth and her husband reside outside Santa Barbara, California.

"EACH DAY, LIVE FROM LOVE, JOY, FORGIVENESS, AND GRATEFULNESS."
