All About Liz Bemis

Elizabeth Bemis, writes in a fun, highly-readable style that’s wise, witty–and a little bit wild. A five-time Golden Heart Finalist, she has also won the prestigious Maggie, Laurie and Dixie contests, and has placed in numerous other contests of regional and national fame. Her most recent work, “EDGE OF MIDNIGHT” represents her seventeenth completed novel.

When she’s not writing romance, Elizabeth operates Bemis Promotions, a freelance Graphic Design and Programming firm specializing in author and small business websites–and fights for control of her office with her dog, Elvis, and cat, Fritz. Sadly, they usually win.
