ⓘ About Elizabeth Jennings
Elizabeth Jennings is an American author that writes suspense, romance and poetry. Jennings lives in Matera in Italy with her family. When she isn’t writing, she is organizing writers conferences designed to cater to the needs of writers, editors, and agents. +Biography Elizabeth Jennings has been writing since she can remember. And everyone who knows her can attest as much. She was always that one student in the class who, rather than listening to the teacher, talking, or dozing off, kept a novel on her lap that she would glance at every chance she got. Jennings was such an avid reader that it even affected her eyesight as a growing teenager. But the author doesn’t think she was to blame for the addiction. After all, Jennings lived right next to the county library.
