Elizabeth Burton became a writing addict one warm summer night in the late Neolithic when she scared the britches off her kid sister and some friends with a made-up ghost story. After having been a welfare mom, a journalist, an information and referral agent, she became an editor, publisher and book reviewer as well as an author. Liz has four grown-up kids and three grandkids, who live everywhere but Texas. When she isn't writing, editing or chasing the cats, she and her soulmate Phil like watching DVDs and discussing the silliness of life in general.
