Lizbef

An english female who gets far too excited about package tea bags (or excited the right amount.) Deep admirer of all things rum and pirates. Answers to the name of Elizabeth, Liz, Lizbef, Miss England, Earle, Your Majesty (still working on that one) or "anyone want a rum?" I grew up with fantasy books and became saddened at the age of 13 when I found out the world map was not half of the world but the whole god damn thing. I attempted the grown up 9-5 and found it draining my soul, little by little. Author of six books, I knew that writing adventures for my characters wasn't enough- I had to experience one too. And maybe not just one. Maybe my life should be an adventure. So I quit my job, sold my possessions, and here I am. Living my own adventure. Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!

No rest for the wicked.
