Elizabeth Lancaster began her working life as an occupational therapist in Sydney. In her mid-thirties, whilst living in the US with her husband and two children, her life took several unexpected turns. On a whim, and with a nudge from a friend, Elizabeth signed up for a writing course in New York. Fully immersing herself in it, she believed she was exactly where she was meant to be. The she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. These two things have always been inextricably linked for Elizabeth. Writing became an essential part of accepting her new reality. On returning to Australia, Elizabeth wrote on a freelance basis for some years before turning her attention to memoir. Her humorous and engaging stories of family and relationships, set against larger events, explore universal themes. See less
