Elizabeth Lavender is the author of the Sunspear series. The first book in the sci-fi series is The Spinning of Deception and the second book is Deception's Hold. Originally from the Alabama coast, she currently lives in the Dallas area with her husband and her two children. She has a Master’s degree in counseling and has studied psychology and English. She enjoys science fiction and fantasy and hopes to bring some of that same enjoyment to others. She also enjoys suspense novels as well. However, as long as the storyline is intriguing, she will give it a try. Her reading spans from Les Miserables to Shakespeare to the Percy Jackson series to anything written by Ted Dekker or Frank Perretti. She works full-time and has been at the same company for over twenty years happily. She is a huge football fan and has a decent throwing arm, despite what her oldest son says when he practices throwing the football with her. Although she enjoys Texas, she loves going home to Alabama to visit. Besides visiting family and friends, it is nice to be back near the water again, where the seafood is the best.
