About Liz

Obsessions: Roller Derby, Books, Tea, Greyhounds, Travel

The Basics:

• I co-host an X-Files podcast with my sister Helen: We Want to Believe
• I have an M.S. in physics from Northern Illinois University.
• I am a member of Madison Roller Derby (derby name = Auntie Matter).
• I teach college physics at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.
• I co-founded a travel company with my husband, Leaping Hound Travel. You should explore Europe with us!
• That below is Evie the Greyhound, best dog in the history of dogs.

More writingish stuff!

• A few of my manuscripts you might want to hear about: 
  • Mighty Millie Novak, my queer roller derby YA novel
  • Timeless, a YA novel filled with girls in STEM, vintage clothes, time travel, and love triangles​
  • An Amsterdam-set suspense novel about visual artists, scam artists, and the way corrosive relationships of the past can taint the present
• I'm working on a new YA WIP that's got enemies-to-lovers, Italian study abroad programs and... ghosts? Hey, it's a WIP, I'm figuring it out.
• I run a Discord server for writers with ADHD. We mostly do a lot of writing sprints. :-) Feel free to email me if you'd like to join us!

Evie the Greyhound, 2004-2019. Best dog in the history of dogs. Loved sleeping, staring blankly, and occasionally stealing pizza rolls. Hated kites and other threats from above. Notable achievements include leaping clear over a beagle once at the dog park (especially remarkable given her typical stationary nature).
