About this author

Hey there, I'm Elizabeth. I write young adult novels. I live just outside Washington DC with my husband and dog, and am unable to pass a bookstore without stopping and going inside.

All right, and I can't leave without buying at least one book.

Usually two. (Or more!)

My website and blog are at elizabethwrites.com, and I'm also on facebook and twitter.


I've got my schedule for BEA--can't believe it's next week!!! In addition to signing at BEA, I'll be doing some other stuff--and I really hope to see YOU!!!

Here's my schedule:

Wed. the 29th--DAY: SLJ Day of Dialog! I'll be on the Real World Horror panel, which is right after Holly Black's lunch speech. The panel starts at 1:45 PM. I'll also be signing ARCs of Heartbeat.

Wed. the 29th NIGHT: Teen...

The Playdate by Louise Millar
The Playdate
by Louise Millar (Goodreads Author)
If you like Sophie Hannah (as I do) then you will LOVE this book. It's about a woman named Callie, who worries a lot about her daughter, her friend Suzy, who has money and three kids and a great life, and a newcomer to the neighborhood, Debs. The boo...more
A Friend of the Family by Lauren Grodstein
This book is not like anything I've ever read. I'm not sure how to explain it, but I'm going to try. On the surface, it seems like a standard, well-written thriller: father worried about his son falling in love with a friend of the family's daughter,...more
The Space Between by Brenna Yovanoff
The Space Between
by Brenna Yovanoff (Goodreads Author)
If you'd told me that my YA keeper shelf would contain a book about one of Lucifer's daughters and how she leaves hell and gets help finding her brother from a guy who wants to kill himself, I would have said, Sure, and then we'll all get free ponies...more
Lasting Damage by Sophie Hannah
This may be my favorite Sophie Hannah book yet! Not only do you get to see how dysfunctional Charlie and Simon's relationship is (I swear, at some point, I'd like to know just a little more about why Simon is so...Simon when it comes to sex), there's...more
A Room Swept White by Sophie Hannah
I seem to be rather alone in my love of Sophie Hannah, but I think she's one of the best thriller writers out there. Will the subject matter of this book be uncomfortable to some? Since it's about women who've been put in prison for cot-death (SIDS i...more
Guilty Wives by James Patterson
Guilty Wives
by James Patterson (Goodreads Author)
This is the first Patterson book I've read. I got it because it seems a shame not to read a book by the man who almost single-handedly seems to be keeping publishing afloat, and because I LOVE everything his co-author, David Ellis, has ever written....more
Cooking for Mr. Latte by Amanda Hesser
A memoir about falling in love with exquisite descriptions of food AND recipes? Ah, to the comfort-read shelf you go, you lovely food memoir, you!
What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty
I loved this one! Alice is twenty-nine, happy with herself and madly in love with her husband, Nick, *and* blissfully expecting her first child. Then she suddenly, she wakes up on the floor of a gym and is shocked to find that she's thirty-nine, supp...more
Break the Glass by Jean Valentine
There are some good poems in here, but what really makes this collection stand out is that Valentine has an entire section devoted to Lucy, the earliest known hominid, and those poems have *so* much in them. Here's a sample:

Lucy, what you want,
that I...more

“The road whinnies and rears up. The sky gallops.
You are permanent within me in this chaos.
Somewhere deep in my mind you shine forever, without
moving, silent, like the angel awed by death,
or like the insect burying itself
in the rotted heart of a tree.”
Miklós Radnóti, Clouded Sky

“You were. You are
The brightest thing in the shop window
And the most beautiful seldom I ever saw”
Mary Jo Bang

“However tortured the rationalizations we prefer, the thirst of one human being for another can be so--humbling--but I preferred to think of it as fate. And then mad desire. Anything but a fortress built on the back of a whim...How much easier to say there is no coincidence, and certainly no mistakes, and carry on to our destruction in defense of...how shall I put it? My idea of myself. One will sacrifice anything for that.”
Laura Dietz, In the Tenth House: A Novel

“Try to be thoughtful,
don't make the poor man say it;
see how human he is,
he has children of his own,
it is your job to ask:
Is she dead?

And he will nod and say yes
And now he can never not nod.
And now he can never say no.
And now he can never not say
yes.”
Kathleen Sheeder Bonanno, Slamming Open the Door

“Save me, O you who love me; love me bravely.”
Miklós Radnóti, Clouded Sky

Francesca Hi Elizabeth! I've just discovered your books, and I'll read more of your novels, but it's kind difficult for me to read in English because I'm French.

Thanks for adding me and best wishes!


message 34: by Caren

Caren Cahill You're welcome for the add. You are definitely one of my top favorite authors. I've never been into what I call normal books (i.e. ones without anything supernatural) till I checked out Bloom by you at the library and now I'm hooked! So I thank you for writing such great books!


message 33: by Amelia

Amelia I just got Something, Maybe form the library and I am really excited to start reading it!!! Thank you for being such a great writer... I started reading Stealing Heaven, but I left it in a locker... It is killing me to not be able to finish it right now...! Happy Holidays!


message 32: by Natasha

Natasha Thank you for adding me! So far I've only read "Perfect You" and it was absolutely enthralling. (I'm aware that I'm getting "Living Dead Girl" and "Love You Hate You Miss You" for Christmas). I can't wait to start reading [them:] - they've been tempting me for so long on Goodreads that it seems weird that I'll finally have my hands on them.

Ellie Thompson Thank you for writing all those amazing books :D
