Elizabeth’s Writing

The Dark Victorian: RISEN (Science Fiction & Fantasy)

1 chapters — updated Mar 31, 2012 06:19pm

Description: "I loved Elizabeth Watasin’s graphic novel, Charm School. Now, after too long an absence, she has returned to print with fiction. Dark Victorian: Risen, is just that: a dark Victorian detective story featuring two of the most eldritch detectives I have ever encountered: a beautiful Quaker amazon of a ghost and her sidekick, a wisecracking, monocled skull in a top hat. And they are not the only memorable characters we meet along the way in this dark romp through fin de siecle London’s foul cribs and alleys, where our detectives search for the man who brings innocent murdered creatures back to life, to wreak a hideous vengeance upon their torturers and murderers. How about a lovely prostitute who may be a dryad? Or twin sisters, one of whom has a deadly tendrilled virus growing on the left side of her face? Risen is only the first of what promises to be a thoroughly enjoyable (if delightfully disturbing) series. Roll over, Arthur Conan Doyle! Move over, Philip Pullman!" - Trina Robbins Writer, Herstorian, author of The Chicagoland detective Agency series and Lily Renee, Escape Artist

Wit's World: Never Was (Science Fiction & Fantasy)

5 chapters — updated Jun 21, 2011 10:59pm

Description: WHEN THE DARING twins try to save their home from demolition by their powerful theme park neighbor, Pip vanishes. Risking a bold rescue mission, Em follows her steps into a mysterious mirror version of the park called NEVER WAS. As she draws closer to her sister she unravels long lost secrets of the park, secrets someone wants to protect with deadly force. To find her way home, Em must face unknown peril as she tries to answer the park's fateful directive: Find the Heart of it All, Find the Heart of Never.
