Elizabeth Fry The observer in me has always been fascinated with the things I don’t see with my eyes. I decided to make a living from it. I write fantasy fiction that allows others to see the great colorful movies that stream constantly across the eye of my mind. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Elizabeth is the youngest of nine children, and was born in Chicago, Illinois, during the blizzard of 1966, and, as a result, adores snow. She jokes that her family puts the "funk" in dysfunction, and she loves hanging out with them. Writing from a young age, her siblings and Mother were not only her first audience, but her first characters. At nine, she created a comic strip starring her older brother and herself to convince her mother being babysat by the family dog would be a more acceptable alternative than her big brother. The comic strip was a dismal failure as her mother continued to go to work. Despite being left in the precarious care of her siblings, she counts them, her three daughters, and the entire gang's passel of children as her best and closest friends. This gang, if found, will likely be gyrating and dancing erratically while attempting to harmonize to great music. Do not attempt to stop them -- just join in.
