Elizabeth Hunter is a contemporary fantasy and romance writer. She is a graduate of the University of Houston Honors College in the Department of English (Linguistics) and a former English teacher. She once substitute taught a kindergarten class, but decided that middle school was far less frightening. She currently lives in Central California with a seven-year-old ninja who claims to be her child. She enjoys music, writing, travel, and bowling (despite the fact that she's not very good at it.) Someday, she plans to learn how to scuba dive. And maybe hang glide... but that looks like a lot of running. She is the author of the Elemental Mysteries series, the Elemental World series, the Cambio Springs series, and other works of fiction.
