Liz Mackenzie

Liz lives in Nottingham with her partner and their rescue cats, Isabella and Benjamin. She has adopted many cats, as well as hens and believes animals deserve a second chance. Liz has wanted to be a writer since she was eleven years old, when her English teacher gave the class a prompt for a story. It was about being one inch tall. She thinks that if you have a dream to be a writer, or something else, you should never give up. Liz is living proof of that as, at the age of sixty-seven, she is publishing her first children’s book. 

Liz is retired and volunteers one morning a week at her local Children’s Air Ambulance charity shop. She likes serving customers and seeing how much children enjoy exploring the toys and books.

Liz loves living in Nottingham, where she moved in 2018. It is known as the rebel city because, throughout history, Nottingham has stood for justice. This is something that is important to Liz too.
