Elizabeth Young

Hello, and a very warm welcome to the author page of Elizabeth Young, ALSO WRITING AS Liz Young.

ABOUT ME: I grew up in a series of vicarages, surrounded by books, and began writing in my teens. Raising four children put writing on the back burner until I took early retirement. I now live in a very small cottage in Sussex.

HELTER-SKELTER tells the early life of Albie Smith, a boy adopted by the owner of a helter-skelter in a seaside town in Kent. Albie's search for his real father introduces him to the Romany world, until WW2 takes him to the battlefields of France.

CAROUSEL is the sequel to H-S, picking up Albie's story in 1952, when he quits his life on the open road to raise his six children alone. Can he find love again in his later years?

BOTH BOOKS are filled with romance and adventure, with an undercurrent of gypsy magic.

My LIVING ROCK fantasy series is set in prehistoric Earth, where the volcanic activity has created a very different race of people. The four books of the series are A VOLCANIC RACE, WOLF PACK, LANDSLIDE and ROCK FESTIVAL.

ACCIDENTAL ADOPTION is the story of a young man, Gavin, and Jack, an abused 12-year-old whom he adopts by accident.

YOU NEVER GAVE ME DIAMONDS - a book of poems exploring love, grief and dementia.

Last but not least, STRIPEY CAT - a book of poems for children, with my own illustrations which a child can colour.

ALL MY BOOKS are available on Amazon in print or ebook. You can follow me on Facebook as Liz Young, on Twitter @young_liz, and on my blog at http://lizy-writes.blogspot.co.uk, where I post flash fiction each week.

Thank you for reading my page, and if you enjoy my books please consider writing a review – the life-blood of every author!
