When Darkness Loves Us, Liz’s first book, will be reissued this November from Apex Books (www.apexbookcompany.com), complete with original Foreword by Theodore Sturgeon. This book includes two short novels. When Darkness Loves Us shows the inner strength and moral deterioration of a sixteen-year-old girl trapped alone in the underground darkness shortly after her wedding day. Beauty Is... follows the tragic life of Martha Mannes, a woman born without a nose, and the beauty and horror of the small town life that surrounds her as her mind works its way out of the trauma that has buried it for most of her life. Book launch will be at a signing at Orycon, Portland, Oregon, November 27, 28, 29. Check back for details.
