About this author


Windy City writer Elizabeth Marx brings cosmopolitan flair to her fiction, which is a blend of romance and fast-paced Chicago living with a sprinkle of magical realism. In her past incarnation she was an interior designer--not a decorator--which basically means she has a piece of paper to prove that she knows how to match and measure things and can miraculously make mundane pieces of furniture appear to be masterpieces. Elizabeth says being an interior designer is one part shrink, one part marriage counselor and one part artist, skills eerily similar to those employed in writing.
Elizabeth grew up in Illinois and has also lived in Texas and Florida. If she’s not pounding her head against the wall trying to get the words just right, you can...more

“Immortality like this is about as useful as sunscreen on a submarine.”
Elizabeth Marx, All's Fair in Vanity's War

“Severian moved toward her, kneeling in front of her. His voice was pleading when he said, "When I return I mean to make you mine."
"Do not return here Milord." She tried to pull away but some pain she saw in his face kept her eyes locked on him. "I am for Montparte."
"You have my heart Meri and I will not settle for less than an equal measure of yours.”
Elizabeth Marx, Descent of Blood

“It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.”
Erma Bombeck

“Worry is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do but never gets you anywhere”

“I just wish the memories would fade. I wish the songs wouldn’t bring tears. And, I wish that his name would stop making my heart tremble. I want to forget. I need to forget. I deserve to forget. I have to forget.”
Melissa Brown, Bouquet Toss

Dianne Hi There! Thank you for being my friend. I have to say I completely fell in love with Aidan. Not so much in Cutters vs. Jocks but he grew on me in Blind Arbitration. I have to say your books made me bawl like a baby and were completely heartbreaking. I wish we get to hear more from Aidan and Libby. However, I can't wait for you to write more contemporary romances!
