Elizabeth Burton has had four novels and three erotic romance ebook novellas published in the decade since she decided it was past time to pursue her long-postponed career as a storyteller. After working as a journalist and newspaper editor, she took advantage of a job hiatus to work on fiction, publishing the first novel, Dreams of Darkness, as an ebook in 2000. She also became a much-in-demand freelance book editor and reviewer, publishing the online review zine The Blue Iris Journal from 1999 to 2003. She was a finalist in the 1999 Writers of the Future, and is a member of the Fandom Association of Central Texas (FACT) where she is on the board of directors and serves as board secretary, and is co-chair for ArmadilloCon 32, Austin’s oldest literary SF/F convention.
In 2003, she became a partner in Zumaya Publications as executive editor. She now oversees operations in Austin, Texas, while trying--again--to find time to write. Her most recent novel, The Everdark Gate, was the winner of the 2008 Dream Realm Award for Fantasy.
