Elisabeth is the award winning author of the 'A Tale of Ancient Rome' saga which has been endorsed by Ursula Le Guin, Kate Quinn and Ben Kane. Now she is hurtling centuries forward to write Fables & Lies, a novel set in WW2 Germany about the Aryan Myth, bizarre Nazi archaeology, and the race to save the Trojan Gold in the fall of Berlin.
Over the years she has worked as a solicitor, corporate lawyer, corporate governance consultant and legal writer. She is the former Deputy Chair of the Writing NSW and the founder of the HNSA.
If you could have dinner with any historical figure, who would it be and why?
Eleanor Roosevelt – what a woman! She was instrumental in the gaining international support for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights so I’d like to hear her views on the world today. And I loved the fact her radio show was more popular than her presidential husband’s. My favourite quote from her is ‘no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.’
