Elizabeth Bevarly was born and raised in Louisville,
Kentucky and earned her BA with honors in English from the
University of Louisville in 1983. Although she can't recall
ever wanting to be anything but a novelist—oh, all
right, she toyed briefly with becoming an archaeologist,
until she realized how awful she looked in khaki and
flannel, and there was a brief fling with the interior
decorator thing, until she realized she had trouble
distinguishing chintz from moiré, and... (Where was I? Oh,
yeah. My brilliant career.) Anyway, her career side trips
before making the leap to writing included stints working as
a bartender, a waitress, a movie theater cashier, a
soap-hawker for Crabtree & Evelyn, an apparel-hawker for The
Limited, and a bridal registry consultant for a major
department store. She also did time as an editorial
assistant for a medical journal, where she learned the
correct spellings and meanings of a variety of words (like
microscopy and histological) which, with any luck at all,
she will never use again in this life.
She wrote her first novel when she was twelve years old. It
was 32 pages long—and that was with college rule
notebook paper—and featured three girls named Liz,
Marianne and Cheryl, who explored the mysteries of a haunted
house. Her friends Marianne and Cheryl proclaimed it
"Brilliant! Spellbinding! Kept me up past dinnertime
reading!" Those rave reviews only kindled the fire inside
her to write more.
Since sixth grade, Elizabeth has gone on to complete more
than 50 works of contemporary romance. Her novels regularly
appear on the USA Today and Waldenbooks bestseller
lists. She's been nominated for the prestigious RITA Award,
has won the coveted National Readers' Choice Award, and
Romantic Times magazine has seen fit to honor her
with two—count 'em TWO—Career Achievement Awards.
Her books have been translated into two dozen languages and
published in three dozen countries, and there are more than
seven million copies in print worldwide. She has claimed as
residences Washington, DC, northern Virginia, southern New
Jersey and Puerto Rico, but she now resides back in her
native Kentucky with her husband and son and two very
troubled cats where she fully intends to remain.
