She has travelled throughout Canada and lived in many of its cities, and finally put down her roots on a little ranch just outside Edmonton, Alberta, where she lives with her husband of twenty-plus years. Ever since she was a child, Elizabeth has been a great animal lover and story teller. And now that she lives on a ranch, this keen observer has boundless opportunities to create stories about the animals she encounters and their quirky personalities.
