Elizabeth Standish is an attorney based in Denver, Colorado who has: had a solo practice, presented criminal appeals to the Colorado Court of Appeals, worked in-house in biotechnology. When she finally got tired of telling other people's stories in her legal briefs, and telling happy endings only to herself, she wrote her first novel. Just like her first heroine, Emmalyn, she too grew up showing horses. She shares her home with a chaotic yellow lab, a cat who likes to sleep in her bathtub, and an assortment of wildlife that like to eat the vegetables that escape the confines of her garden.
