Elizabeth Bailey is a published author of fiction that specializes in writing historical mysteries, historical romances, and romance in general!

Elizabeth was always an active reader, ever since she was young. She grew up in Africa in its colonial days, with theater being part of her family history and enjoying parents that were unconditional. Once the family was living in England, she would eventually figure out that she wanted to be a writer and discovered her skill in this area when she was in her thirties. She would then become interested in historical romance and even write some romance stories in this genre herself and getting them published while teaching drama and directing it on the side as her other career.

She says that when talking to others about herself, it can be difficult to do since you risk sounding dull or overly enthusiastic. Elizabeth says that like her characters, she often falls somewhere in the middle of the two. She says that sometimes life can throw you around, and it can be a struggle to keep going while pursuing your dreams when life throws you twists and turns.

Elizabeth recounts that she has discovered numerous paths that give her satisfaction and feels lucky that she has discovered them. She loves teaching, directing, acting, and writing. Some of the paths have even crossed with each other over the years, and her abilities in each realm would deepen as a result. She says that she has had the privilege of working with a variety of people in the arts and has felt lucky to have publishers that believe in her abilities. Bailey has also branched into independent publishing with the e-book’s popularity and now can release some of her stories that might not have been published through traditional means and enjoy all of that freedom that comes along with publishing her own works.

The author gets a sense of joy when she witnesses other writers starting to come into their own and grow. She believes that we all make it through the support and relationships we have with others in some form, and always feels rewarded when she’s been connected to another author that is starting to find their stride and some sort of success. She sees the main goal of the novelist as coming up with a world that others can believe in and even reside in for some time. She has never lost her love for reading and if she can pass on some of the enjoyment to others that she has had while reading, Elizabeth says that makes all of the effort worth it. She resides in England in Sussex.
