At any moment I felt like these covers were going to become real. To open a window into the Forces of Nature.
I expected the wind to ruffle her hair, to hear a symphony of songbirds, and to experience an ambrosial delight from the multitude of flowers.
Vibrantly colored book covers have always been a draw for me. I wouldn’t be able to walk past these on a bookshelf without stopping to pick them up.

Author Bio:
Elizabeth has a near crippling Facebook addiction, dwarfed only by her need for Dr. Pepper. A self-proclaimed techno geek, she loves cell phones, computers, tablets and all things technological. The internet has to be the greatest invention since the wheel, in her opinion. She lives in a quiet subdivision with her husband, one-year-old son, three cats, and far too many electronics. It’s quite possible she has some raccoon in her DNA, because she loves glitter and anything that sparkles. She enjoys making jewelry and costumes. Halloween is her favorite holiday since it’s the one day of the year that you can be whatever you want. But her first love will always be writing. Otherwise, hearing voices in her head would make her feel schizophrenic.
