Liz Coley writes fiction for teens and for the teen in you. Her goal as a writer is to take people places they never thought to go, to understand the enemy, to open eyes and hearts, to expose truths both shining and dark, to heal whenever possible. PRETTY GIRL-13 from HarperCollins US and UK is available in eleven international translations and audiobook and has won several awards."There are secrets you can't even tell yourself." The Tor Maddox "pink thriller" teen series, including short story prequel DISARMED, as well as UNLEASHED (1), EMBEDDED (2), and MISTAKEN (3), represents the lighter side of Liz. Her science fiction short stories have been published in Cosmos magazine and several anthologies. Indy YA novel OUT OF XIBALBA features a contemporary teenager thrown back to ancient Mayan times. "The story starts when the world ends." Her most recent novel, THE CAPTAIN'S KID, is also available as a listen/read-along video serial presented by Undercover Reading, hosted on YouTube LizColeyBooks channel. Grab a blanket and let Liz read this sci-fi adventure to you. Liz lives in an empty nest in Ohio, where she is surrounded by a fantastic community of writers, beaten regularly by better tennis players, uplifted by her choir, supported by her husband, and adorned with hair by her cats Pippin and Merry.
