Autorenporträt

Elizabeth Lyons¿an author, jewelry artist, and inspirational humorist¿vividly remembers the day she sat down at the kitchen table and began writing her first book. She was 6 years old, and she started with chapter 8 because starting from the very beginning seemed an awful lot of work. When she discovered that she couldn¿t write an entire book in a day, she quit. Because there were enough other proverbial fish to fry that taking more than 24 hours to complete one project seemed nothing short of absurd. She invented her first game, Jakbat, at age 3. She wrote her first song (with the very original title ¿It¿s really a song¿) at age 10, and fully expects the newest boy band to pick it up any second. She imagined a store that sold petit fours named Petit Four Your Thoughts, but was told that a store that sold only petit fours would never succeed. (And yes, every time she passes the Sprinkles cupcake store, she cringes.) She also insists that she invented the battery-operated heat-generating ice scraper, but sadly admits that she didn¿t run to the patent office fast enough. Lesson learned. These days, Elizabeth is many things: mom, friend, lunch maker, chauffeur, hostage negotiator, writer, on-call plumber, DIYer, tile layer, guitar student, window washer, product designer, and on and on. If you¿re curious about her collection of modern handcrafted jewelry, you can check that out at www.ElizabethLyons.com. To be clear, one thing she is not is any sort of Superwoman. She simply demands the right to do things her way¿a way that often defies even the most creative imaginations¿and she strives to inspire others to do things their way (once she helps them figure out what their way is!). Elizabeth lives in Arizona with her five kids, crazy dog, two fish (RIP Cosmo and Paul), four barely surviving organic gardens, and whatever (or whomever) else has taken up residence with them in the last five minutes. Please feel free to contact Elizabeth at [e-mail]. She would love to hear from you, and she prides herself on punctual responses. But if you send an e-mail between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m., you¿ll have to wait a bit because those are the hours during which she either thinks about or actually engages in sleep, the latter of which is completely non-negotiable.
