Elizabeth Parkinson-Bellows

So... I'll admit I'm a bit of a fantasy nerd. I blame my brother's childhood Dungeons and Dragons obsession. I write children's fantasy stories. ALEXANDER DRAKE'S EXTRAORDINARY PURSUIT & THE RETURN OF GENERAL DRAKE are both available at Amazon and other retailers.

A few random things about me...
Um, let's see... when I was eight, I had a pet turkey. I used to take it with me on my very short lived paper route. Needless to say, I was terrible at delivering the paper. No one wanted a "Dollar Saver" with turkey poop on the front page. Apparently that is where the best coupons are.
Books... well, "Treasure Island" is a fantastic pirate tale. I love just about anything by Roald Dahl, and of course... Jane Austen (I have yet to find a sappy female who doesn't).
I love to write... these days sneaking away just to use the bathroom is hard enough. Finding a quiet moment alone with my laptop is impossible. I've developed a talent for making airplane noises out the side of my mouth for my son while squeezing in a paragraph or two.
When football is on I turn into a different person. I may even use a curse word or two... or three.
I enjoy running; which is a good thing because I need to do it in order to fit into my jeans.
I love to cook and really, really love to eat. I have a theory that avocados make almost anything taste better.
Few things make me smile more than chocolate, cheese, and a good bottle of wine... AND, if the Chargers would make it to the Super Bowl again - just once:)
