Elizabeth began writing poetry at the young age of fifteen on the topics of society, personal growth, love, and family with an undeniable influence from the great poets of the Romantic period, such as Byron, Wordsworth and Keats.
Elizabeth is the eighth adopted child of a highly diverse family. Much of her poetry provided healing and perspective, having been a survivor of separation from her birth parents and twin sister. Her passion about sharing her personal journey with others is clear throughout her work.
When Elizabeth began her journey as a young writer at the unusually young age of nine, her third grade teacher accused her of plagiarism, and called her mother to discuss the matter in the classroom. To her teacher's surprise, Elizabeth had written an outstanding story that was not typical of third grader. Later on in her education, Elizabeth’s English teacher, Mr. Gordon Langford, at Healdsburg High School in California, also recognized her gift for writing and knew that it far exceeded her age, and often commented that she possessed an old soul, centuries older than her time. In review of her book, he wrote, “Some Voyages are meant to cross oceans, while others explore the contents of the soul. Traversing Regression led me into fantastic elements of truth and consciousness just beyond the eyes.”
Elizabeth has her Bachelor's and Master's of Arts degrees in Sociology, with a French minior. She lives with her husband and two children in the San Francisco Bay Area.visualizza meno
