Not only is her past a mystery (somehow she ended up in Alaska and then back in Hawaii again...in the 1800s) but the things that I DO know about her are stranger than fiction. Definitely plan to write a historical novel about her in the near future.(less)

What three uncouth women taught me about post-pandemic life

When I set out to write my first historical fiction saga, The Two Daggers, I had a story to tell. I wanted to immerse myself and my readers in action, adventure, new places, and a pivotal historical event. And the readers who love that series really love it (many thanks to them because it takes a few chapters for the action to start rolling in book 1). There's nothing more amazing to me than readi

“Hochsommer In which a hoe has gone missing”
Elizabeth R. Andersen, The Alewives

“When her father had complained that Harald had less sense than a nanny goat, Efi defended him passionately because that is what one must do to protect a handsome man.”
Elizabeth R. Andersen, The Alewives

“They made a small batch at first – grain, water, a bit of honey, and some bread mash. Their first task was to malt the grain by drying it over a flame, which they did with more enthusiasm than necessary, resulting in a brew that, as Gritta put it, “tasted like someone pissed in the ash pit of hell.”
Elizabeth R. Andersen, The Alewives
