Meet Lizzie

Hiya peeps!

Today I want you to meet Lizzie Chantree.

I 'met' Lizzie 'long time ago' (about 2 years or so) on Twitter. 

Busy girl, have to tell ya ;)

Lizzie's a successful writer and as she wrote about herself:

'... an enthusiastic inventor, businesswoman and artist. I founded my first company at the age of 17 and have been creating products and driving my family mad ever since.'

She's living in Essex with her family and doggy girl named Pepper (see pic below)

Lizzie sent me this pic with note: 'This is where I often sit and write'

Beautiful spot, don't you think?

I asked Lizzie few questions, here this little 'interview' :)

Q: What you were doing between your first business and being writer?

I ran a retail and wholesale business for over 15 years. I designed products and sold them here and abroad.

Q: What kind of products?

Glassware, candles, aromatherapy, home wares.

Q: How long ago you started #CreativeBizHour? (every Monday night 8-9 pm GMT networking hour on Twitter)

Five years ago now. It's been trending most weeks for years. Still do :)

I also asked Lizzie about her books, here her answer:

Baby Driven was my first book. 5 have been published.  One more is out with an American publisher next year and I have three more books written. I'm not sure when they will be out yet. I'm writing book 10 now.

Lizzie's first book was published in 2013. Pics of all her (published) books below:

I read four of them so far and they are nice reads :)

Lizzie is active on Facebook too, so if you are a writer (no matter genre) and looking for writing friends or reader (like me), who's looking for good reads not printed by big publishers, but independent small publishers or even self published by writers check her group:

If you like romantic books check:
