Elizabeth Macalaster hails from New England, though she and her family have lived all over the United States. She studied marine biology and began her writing career as a science journalist. Her interest in the FBI and passion for hiking inspired the story of “Reckoning At Harts Pass,” her first novel. Compelled to look behind the scenes, she also wrote a YA collection of women spies throughout history, “In Disguise! Undercover With Real Women Spies,” with a co-author under their pen name, Ryan Ann Hunter. Elizabeth spends her time in Maine where she writes, rows, and continues hiking adventures with her family.
