I was born in Fort Worth, Texas, but live in Oklahoma. The hearty pioneering spirit of my great-grandparents and grandparents who settled in Indian Territory and later staked out family landholdings during the Oklahoma Land Run,hopefully endures in my stories, writing style, and in the characters that spring to life on the written pages. I've always thought of myself as a 'southern, kitchen sink' writer! Recently, my novels have been compared to John Galsworthy, who was before my time! The following is an interview by Sarah Doyle: "The Ouija Board Said I Was a Witch" "That's one potential title of Summer Doldrums' author, EA Monroe's future autobiography. And although I don't know the story behind it, I'm sure that once it's written, it will tell the tale with vivid imagery and an eccentric cast of characters. Born in Texas, but raised in Oklahoma by a small town physician father and a stay-at-home/nurse mother, Liz hails from a long line of "rebels, outlaws, and free thinkers" (not to mention the pirates - and no, I'm not kidding). Because she always had an over-active imagination and what she refers to as "fantastic misconceptions" as a child, Liz started writing at the tender age of 10 - and hasn't stopped since. Liz lists social alienation, unexpected circumstances, small town life, and coming-of-age tales among her favorite themes to write about and considers herself a kitchen sink reality writer. I would agree - Summer Doldrums is a classic example: a story about small town life, domestic normalcy, brought to life with gritty, colorful detail. Liz's major works include plans for 12 books in the Voice Of the Wind series - novels that encompass both a mythical landscape and a shenanigan-prone cast of characters. Liz's current working novel, Agate Jones, is set in 1931 in downtown Oklahoma City. Two sisters run away from an orphanage, disguise themselves as boys and embark on a colorful adventure with more action than I'm allowed words. Elizabeth Monroe is truly an eccentric and inspiring writer. -- Sarah Doyle
