Lilybeth is a born and raised New HampShit. No, that is not a typo.

She grew up on a Fairy Hill at the edge of an enchanted forest, spending her winters trying to track fae through the snow with her German Shepherds. Whether she actually found them remains a mystery—though it’s likely they erased her memory in exchange for her safe return.

After nearly 21 years in the military, Lilybeth hung up her uniform and returned to her true love—writing. It’s a pastime her high school teachers probably wished she’d given up by middle school, especially considering how much trouble she got into for it. Back then, it was Star Wars fanfic and stories about strong women. Some things never change; she’ll let you decide which one.

As the great-great-granddaughter of not one, but two Salem Witch Trial victims, Lilybeth has a natural affinity for writing tough, troublesome women who get the job done—regardless of the odds, or who’s in their way. She’s also been known to sprinkle her stories with a good dose of whimsy.

This highly decorated military veteran and author now lives in the Pacific Northwest with family and can usually be found causing mischief and plotting her next adventure.
