About this author

I have my master’s in music performance and at one time considered a career in opera. My teacher’s heart wouldn’t stand for it though, and so we moved back to Kentucky and I found a wonderful elementary school that needed me; I’ve been there for thirteen years now.

Books have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always been a closet writer. Though it wasn't until recently that I found the courage to share my work with the world.

The Kailmeyra series will be complete in the spring of 2013 with the release of the final book, The Heart of the Ancients.


Whoot! Today is the official last day of school, and so I'm excited on so many levels. My parting words of wisdom to the kiddo's are "You have to read something every day, but it has to be something you enjoy. If you read something you really like, then you'll like to read".

So true, isn't it?

So in honor of fun, summer reads everywhere, I'm giving away Captivate, by Carrie Jones. It's the secon... read more »

Elizabeth Isaacs Now you've just made my day! Feel free to join our writer group (I'm going to really start it back up after Keepers is off to editing on the 21st). We've all been busy publishing. What a great problem to have!

And I love that you are starting to write!

Mirielys Perez Elizabeth,

I can not express what joy your friend request on Goodreads has given me this morning. First, I want to say how much I enjoyed The Light of Asteria, it was a very good read and I can not wait to read the next one. You and other great writers I have stumbled upon this year have given me the inspiration to start writing as well. Thank you for your wonderful work and I really look forward to reading all of your future projects.

A new fan,
Miry

So sorry I haven't replied back. I forget sometimes to scroll down. :-D

I've been writing so much lately that it's left little time to read new material, so I go back to my roots. Right now, I'm re-reading Narnia, and I love JK Rowling (although I wish she'd write something else :-) On the romance side, I like "9 rules to break when romancing a Rake", but the other two in the series were a major disappointment to me. *sigh* I'm also thumbing through Stephen Colbert's I am America and So Can You. It's a silly read, but good for a pick-em-up-and-put-em-down few page quickie :-D

So sorry I haven't replied before now, but thanks for asking! What about you? What are you reading?

Working on the sequel. I just went to amazon and pressed your button (sound wrong, I know:-). What on earth does that do? Give you world domination? If it does, remember your GR friends!
What's going on with you?

Elizabeth Isaacs I just found the most wonderful site on twitter, and I had to share. It is a company that takes recycled books and makes purses out of them. What's even better, though, is that they also make glass buttons out of the text. It's nerd fashion heaven! Here is the site:

Elizabeth Isaacs New Blog Post! Write, shovel, repeat...write, shovel, repeat. www.thelightofasteria.blogspot.com


Elizabeth Isaacs Thanks to all who came to the book signing! We had over 100 people there, and Joe-Beth books said that they hadn't had a turnout like that in a while. The shoe-string summer book tour is underway, and I should have the dates out for that soon. Looks like we're hitting Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois. If you have something you'd like me to add, please let me know and if I can I'll squeeze it in.
Take care,
Elizabeth


Elizabeth Isaacs Thanks! You've made my day!
