Hi, I’m Elizabeth

I write worlds that you can get lost in, and lovers that always find each other.

I was always the weird kid, with my nose stuck in a book (even while walking down the street). The fantasy and sci fi heroines of my youth always found their way through, no matter how many unbending dragonriders, traitorous patrons, or fasist regimes were thrown at them. So now I write my own.

If you love solid world-building, lonely heroines who find their people, and unconditional love that blossoms in hostile worlds, you’re in the right place.

Your next obsession awaits…

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy your books?

All my books are available on Bookshop.org, Kobo, Apple books, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon. You can also read my books for no extra cost with a KoboPlus, Everand, or Fable subscription. Click any “Buy the book” button for a full set of store links.

Do you have anything I can read for free?

Yes! Every book listing has a link to BookFunnel where you can read chapter 1 right in your browser! If you want a full book, join my newsletter and you’ll get a free novella as a thank-you.

How can I support you if I already have all your books?

The best (free) way to support me is to leave a review on your platform of choice. Even a few lines can really help other readers. If you want to contribute to paying me and my editor a living wage, head over to Patreon and become a patron for as little as a dollar a month—you’ll also get monthly bonus scenes and other perks!

Is there a map of The Lakes? The Syphon Bound world is making my head spin!

Yes! I keep a Pinterest board updated with Syphon Bound resources and references. You’ll find my original hand-drawn maps there, along with historical references I use in writing the books.

Whereabouts can I find you?

I’m not currently set up to do in-person events, and it’s not in my current plans. I live and work in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and if you drop into a local bookstore at just the right time, you might find one of my books!

Do you use AI?

No, not at all. The closest I come is Canva’s background remover or…does Word spell check have AI now? I can’t keep up.

I never use genAI, and I don’t use any AI writing tools. All the images on my covers and my website are stock images marked as photos, art, or renders.
