I was born and grew up in the small town of Rochelle, Illinois where my childhood was idyllic and faith was the center of my universe. Inspired by the bedtime stories my Mom used to tell, I wrote and told stories throughout those early years. In 2017, I began independently publishing a few of my holiday stories. My stories are filled with flawed characters who stumble through plots full of twists and turns-then, of course, things work out, the good guys win, and everyone learns a lesson! I hope my stories entertain and inspire you. Please visit me at www.lizbockelman.com.
