About the author

Hi everyone! I’m Liz Alter, and I’m so happy you’re here.

I write the Footprints cozy-fantasy series and the Pastor Mary Mysteries—stories filled with a little bit of magic, a lot of heart, and the kind of moments that remind us we’re never alone.

I came to writing later in life, and what started as a quiet creative spark has grown into one of the greatest joys of my life. I love creating stories set in small, close-knit communities where faith, family, and even the smallest acts of kindness can change everything.

If you enjoy uplifting stories, gentle mystery, and characters (both human and a little magical!) who feel like friends, then you’re in exactly the right place.

I live in sunny Florida with my family and my sweet terrier—who often inspires the furry companions in my books. When I’m not writing, you’ll usually find me reading, staying active, or dreaming up my next story.

Thank you so much for being here. It truly means the world to me.
