About
Author Elizabeth Fisher lives in east Tennessee and has deep Appalachian roots that involve all the usual elements—moonshine stills, horse thieving ancestors and rumors of illicit banjo pickin’. Fortunately, due to her father’s less felonious North Carolina heritage, Fisher makes an honest living as a freelance writer, editor and graphic designer. In her spare time, she reads, hikes and attempts to oil paint. She believes she’s making great strides in creatively incorporating the errant hairs of her cats—Buck and Bozo—into her still lifes. Her loving husband, Tim, is not so sure.

Story Behind The Book
Curse Me Not is unique because of its more realistic approach to the paranormal romance genre. My heroine’s world is not unlike our own, and my characters are three-dimensional adult men and women whose hearts have been nicked and scarred by real life. While writing it, I quickly discovered the humanity in my villains and the foibles in my heroes.
Reviews
<p>The best part [of Curse Me Not] for me besides the undeniable chemistry between Elzetta and Caleb McGrath was the often understated humor that was sprinkled liberally throughout. Elzetta is a strong, independent-minded woman with a lot of compassion for others. This was a fun read that fully captured my imagination! — <em>Laurie’s Thoughts and Reviews</em> (5 out of 5 stars)</p>

<p>Elizabeth Fisher has created a whole new take on the paranormal. I'm a big fan of paranormal romance and I've yet to come across a book quite like this one. It was captivating and very well plotted. I was expecting witches, wolves, vampires or the like and I got a charming aura cleaner from a backwoods town in Tennessee. This is truly a unique take…on the genre. — <em>Online Book Club</em> (4 out of 4 stars)</p>

<p>Elzetta Swan is the perfect character with her "Hell's Bells" exclamations to her insecurities of how she meets the man of her dreams. …Curl up with it, and it will be hard to put down until you reluctantly turn the last page. Loved it and hope there is another Elzetta book in the works! — <em>Penny C</em> (4 out of 5 stars)</p>
