Elizabeth Andrews
https://ElizabethAndrewsWrites.com
Ever since I was a little girl, books have been among my best friends. I read and reread some of my favorites until they fell apart, and then I read them some more. When I was ten, my fifth grade teacher set the class to writing ‘creative sentences’. Only I didn’t stop, but kept going into paragraphs and then stories. Soon after, my dad got me a used manual typewriter to save my poor callused fingers, and I really went to town. I love a bit of paranormal in a romance novel, adore a sexy hero, and admire a heroine who doesn’t know how strong she can be until she has no other choice, and I try to work these into some of my own stories. When I’m not writing or at the day-job, I have a garden space full of weeds trying to crowd out my herbs and veggies, plus my husband and two young adult sons who are all heroes in their own right. And a room full a books and at least one cat. Always. You can find out more at www.elizabethandrewswrites.com
