Elisabeth Storrs has a great love for the history - both trivia and the serious stuff. She is the award-winning author of the A Tale of Ancient Rome saga which was endorsed by Ursula Le Guin, Kate Quinn and Ben Kane. Now she’s hurtling centuries forward with FABLES & LIES, a novel set in WW2 Germany about the Aryan myth, crazy Nazi archaeology, and a race to save Trojan Treasure during the fall of Berlin. She is the founder and program director of the Historical Novel Society Australasia, and a former Deputy Chair of Writing NSW. In 2020, Elisabeth headed the team that introduced the $150,000 ARA Historical Novel Prize to the ANZ literary calendar. She lives in Sydney with her husband in a house surrounded by jacarandas. She is also a membe ...more

Quotes by Elisabeth Storrs  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“This one will be demanding. She already knows her own mind. Lady Caecilia would have to be careful her husband did not overly pamper his little princess. Having a strong will was one thing. Being a brat was another.”
Elisabeth Storrs, Call to Juno

“she’d feared she would have no more love to give. But she’d soon discovered that love was not finite. It expanded each time she bore another child. Arnth”
Elisabeth Storrs, Call to Juno

“sometimes there has to be suffering to gain benefit. We must stand strong in adversity.”
Elisabeth Storrs, The Golden Dice

“Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.”
Thomas A. Edison

“Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century:
Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others;
Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected;
Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it;
Refusing to set aside trivial preferences;
Neglecting development and refinement of the mind;
Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero
