A very unique woman indeed, Elizabeth was nominated as International Poet of the Year in 2000 for "Can You See Them". She and husband Jim traveled to Washington D.C. where she read her poem about her grandchildren. Elizabeth was honored with a plague and medal. She was once again nominated as International Poet of the Year for the same poem in 2002 and 2003; "The Battle" 2003; "Dad's Pipe" 2004 she received an Editors Award for Outstanding Achievement in Poetry. "The Helper" was included in the extraordinary World's Largest poem for Peace. For these nominations she received metals, silver bowl on a pedestal, plague, and new friends from all over the world. With a Pioneer spirit in her heart and courage to make a difference. Elizabeth continues on the path set before her as a writer of stories. Where other western writers depict the female as the weaker sex, Elizabeth shows the female to have strength not only mentally but physically to overcome many obstacles when no man is there to protect and guide. She takes these women on an adventure that tests them to the breaking point and when broken how they come about again in full strength; a strength that can only come from God. Her characters have become hero's in our world where we have very few, if any. Elizabeth's novels wind around a fiction adventure, and are known for their accuracy and authenticity of historical accounts. Her drive to write came from moving to Arizona in 1981, where she fell in love with the topography of the West and a taste of what it was like in the 1700 and 1800's. Life was not easy to live back then, but there was an unmistakable drive and determination to live it to the fullest. Elizabeth traveled the western states and became more enthusiastic with the West and the life one had to live to survive to keep going, yet in a place of breathtaking sunsets, magnificent mountain scenes, and unspeakable prairies, it created a foundation for her writings. Elizabeth has critiqued novels, poems, poetry books, paintings, and drawings. Her knowledge of writing and art landed her judging positions for various organizations along with speaking engagements at schools and libraries about her books and publishing. Her strong patience and cheerful attitude allows for quick changes in plans made. And with her husband Jim of 49 years, 2 married children, 6 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren, changes happen. Still Elizabeth has time to write and bring to life wonderful characters.
