Elizabeth grew up in the Central Valley in California. Her childhood was surrounded by many animals. She and her three siblings were always busy conjuring up games and having fun. The foundation of Elizabeth's writing abilities can be found in a twenty-plus year, award-winning career as a language, reading, and writing teacher. Elizabeth has a passion not only for helping children learn, but also for helping teachers teach more effectively. Currently, Elizabeth spends most of her time with her three-year-old grandson, Beckham Grey. Beckham's imagination and funny scenarios while playing together motivated her to pen his adventures. Imagination is priceless.
