Author Bio

When Elizabeth Raum was in 3rd grade, her teacher predicted that she would become a writer. It seemed impossible. Now, 150 books later, Elizabeth admits that Mrs. Brown could see into the future. Of course, it didn't happen right away. Elizabeth became a teacher and then a librarian before turning to writing fulltime. She's written biographies, nonfiction books on many topics, picture books, and several middle-grade historical novels. She's lived in seven different states and currently splits her time between North Dakota and Tennessee, enjoying the beauty of both prairie and mountains.
