Elizabeth Schechter has been writing award-winning Romantasy since before romantasy was a word. Her writing credits include the award-winning steampunk romance House of Sable Locks, the Celtic fantasy Princes of Air (recently rereleased as Ravenborn), and 2021 VIVIAN finalist Written in Water.
She was born in New York at some point in the past. She is officially old enough to know better, but refuses to grow up. She lives in Central Florida with her husband and son.
I didn’t know you lived in Central Florida! We “snowbird” in Titusville every year! In fact, I belong to the STAR chapter.
and your first sentence made me laugh
Cool! Next winter we’ll have to meet up!
And I snowbird in Fort Myers! Laughed put loud at your bio!
Too funny! Thanks!
You are a woman after my own heart. When I started following my husband around the world as part of the US Foreign Service, I took on a variety of jobs–whatever was available. About eight years ago, I decided I had had enough of that. Since then, I have written a couple of kids books, written a blog reviewing kids books, created an international quilters group, become a distributor of Send Out Cards and am currently working on setting up an import business of handmade textiles from Thailand and Guatemala. My husband has started a collection of my business cards. I keep telling him that one day my ship will come in.
Hey, Elizabeth, your background has a familiar ring. Isn’t it interesting that so many authors have had numerous jobs and careers before finally being able to focus on writing? Perhaps that’s what gives us the experiences to invent numerous settings and situations, seen through the eyes of a wide variety of characters. Good luck with your latest story!
