Elizabeth Lakoff has loved storytelling since an early age. She invented all kinds of tales about her friends, family and even her pets. Nowadays, her favourite stories to tell are inspired by her incredible children – her brilliant and passionate teenage daughter and her curious and kind young son. Her son’s experience as an amputee served as an inspiration for Amber the Maker. After obtaining a Bachelor of Education degree, Elizabeth spent a decade working as an English and Social Studies high school teacher while raising her children and completing her Master of Arts degree at Concordia. Elizabeth now works in training. When not writing or working, Elizabeth enjoys a quiet country life with her husband, children, and two dogs.
