Meet the Author: Elizabeth Bird

Hello Readers!

It’s been a minute since I last did an author interview, but I’m happy to introduce you to Elizabeth Bird, high fantasy author. Welcome to the fold, my friend!

Like me, Elizabeth is a part of KC Book Beat, a local nonprofit aimed at amplifying the reach of local authors to Kansas City readers and beyond. Recently we have been attending some events together and I’ve loved being able to chat with her and get to know her better. She’s such a light of positivity and support, and I just had to pick her brain about her creative process.

I’m so grateful Elizabeth agreed to do this with me. Alright, without further ado, let’s get this interview started!

Elizabeth Bird

Bio:

Elizabeth Bird is a Kansas City based fantasy author. Her love of fantasy began in middle school, when she started writing short stories to amuse her internet friends. Elizabeth honed her story-telling skills through teaching and motherhood until she became the head writer for a radio variety hour for three wonderful years.

The Interview

Hi Elizabeth, thanks so much for stopping by. To keep things interesting, I like to ask my interviewees a random question to get the blood flowing. Here’s yours!

Walking through the forest, you unearth a magical relic that could give you and your friends superhuman abilities. The tradeoff: demons will hunt you down to the death to steal your powers. What do you do?

Elizabeth: Okay, so if I’m living my best delulu life, here’s the plan:

1. Take the powers and distribute them to my rag-tag team of adventurers. We start fighting for truth, justice, and equality while we heavily inconvenience people who annoy us.
2. Start a frenemy relationship with the head demon hunting us. Is it witty banter or is it flirting? No one knows!
3. Make head demon my shadow daddy with my awkward feminine wiles.
4. Convince him to my side and, together with my rag tag group of friends, we take on the armies of Hell.
5. Obviously we win! Everyone lives happily ever after, and I am crowned Queen of Hell!
But in reality, that sounds like a lot of running, so I’m good.

Jonny: Oh my gosh, you’ve got me rolling over here! I ship your romancing of the head demon/shadow daddy and I’d love to be a part of your ragtag crew. Superpowers and demon hunting sounds like sooo much fun! Good choice on passing up such a huge leadership role in Hell. Adulting is gross!

Elizabeth and the Writing Process

How do you find inspiration to write?

Elizabeth: I started writing because I was searching for a story I couldn’t find. Or I was interested in the sidekick’s story, not the hero. Or I wondered what would happen if the story went another way. And the ideas would come! When I was little, I got it out by playing with my Barbies. Usually, Ken had done something dumb, and Barbie had to go on an adventure to rescue him. When I got older, I started writing those stories down.

I like to think that writing is a muscle. You have to work it out, even on bad days. So, I’ve made it a habit to write every day, just like brushing my teeth. If I’m stuck, really loud music tends to help, or talking the plot out to my dogs.

My inspiration really comes from anywhere. I think it was Jack London who said “You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.” So, I pay attention. I draw from books, movies, history, and my own life. My husband and father-in-law are armchair historians so they have some great stories for me to pick from. I love to draw from folklore as well. I listen to a lot of paranormal podcasts that are great for getting the creative juices flowing.

So, Scott and Forest from ‘Astonishing Legends’ if you ever see this, hi! I’m a huge fan!

Jonny: Oh I love that! I was an adventurous imaginative kiddo too.

I couldn’t agree more on writing as a muscle. I will take the occasional day off when I feel mentally overwhelmed, but overall I write every day. Music is a huge necessity for me, but it’s always ambient soundscapes.

It’s so true! Inspiration can come from the most unlikely of sources. I’ve been inspired by podcasts, writing prompts, folklore, or just switching up my routine like going to the gym when I usually wouldn’t. Anything can trigger inspiration at any time. You’ve just gotta be ready to jot down the idea when it hits you. I love that you have a good source of tales in your hubby and father in law. You’re definitely in good company.

How long have you been writing?

Elizabeth: Well, I’ve been telling stories since I was little. My mom swears I’ve been doing it since before I learned to talk. The words weren’t there, but the inflection was. I have an older brother who got the remote, so I was raised on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, X-Men, and Batman the Animated Series. It gave me a taste for stories about adventure and heroes. Then, in my early teens, I discovered Tamora Pierce and JRR Tolkien and it was all downhill from there.

I wrote my first story in 2002-2003 as an early teen and it was horrible. But I had too much fun to stop. So, possessing the ego only a 13-year-old girl could muster, I started posting my stories on FanFiction.net. And, slowly, I discovered things like plot, and voice, and characterization. That’s when my writing stared to get good. In the early days of the internet, it was as close to ‘instant feedback’ as you could get.

In early 2017, I somehow fell into becoming the head writer for a monthly radio variety hour. Every month, I would write an hour’s worth of new content. The segments included a monster sitcom, a superhero vegetable and a space private eye. Through this I wrote a few plays, and was happy to do so until COVID shut everything down.

I started seriously working on ‘The Dreamers Saga’ in late 2020 and early 2021. I had the idea since I started writing all the way back in the early 2000’s, but my skill wasn’t there yet. It was now. So, I plotted out the series and released the first book ‘The Azure Crown’ in September of 2024 with the second in the series, ‘The Crimson Kingdom’, set to release this September.

Jonny: We must have grown up around the same timeframe. I was also addicted to Power Rangers and X-Men, and me and my friends would always act out battle scenes in people’s yards (they hated us lol). Oh, Tamora Pierce and Tolkien will do that to even the most resistant minds!

That’s so awesome! We all have meager beginnings as writers. I wrote some cruddy stories back in grade school, but we grow and get these marvelous opportunities as we do so. That’s incredible about your role with the radio variety hour. The next time I see you I want some more stories!

If COVID was good for anything, it was for us authors to give proper attention to our stories and make some waves. I’m so glad you were able to revisit your story and publish it too. My first manuscript is still collecting dust, but maybe someday I’ll rework it into something that I can be proud of.

Why do you write?

Elizabeth: I can’t not. I don’t really know how to explain it. The ideas won’t leave me alone until they’re out.

Besides, writing and storytelling is something I enjoy. There is something so fundamental about storytelling to humans. Every culture does it. It’s a way to pass down something to the next generations. I have two children, and I want them to know that, yes, dragons do exist, but they can be beaten. If one person enjoys my stories, that makes it worth it to me. If someone, out there, can find the same comfort I found in the stories I read growing up, well then, that’s more than enough for me.

Jonny: Same! I just feel this compulsive need to write, and I love to entertain people with my  stories. Storytelling plays such an important role in our history, and there’s a reason that the literary world just keeps chugging along. We need great stories that we can connect to and find ourselves and others in.

What genre is your favorite to write in? Why?

Elizabeth: I love fantasy! I love being able to push the limit, coming up with magic systems. I love deciding where to draw the line. Was Freddie Mercury a Siren? I don’t remember learning the words to ‘Bohemian Rapsody’, yet I and every person I’ve ever met knows all of them!

I have a deep love for folklore and the paranormal. You can learn so much about people, what they feared or valued, based on their mythology and folklore. And it’s fascinating to see what overlaps! Every culture in the world has their version of a vampire. Tons of creation stories include a flood myth. Every civilization has shifters. The dichotomy of good and evil is everywhere!

Jonny: Fantasy is such a great genre. It has so many subgenres and can take all kinds of forms with its versatility, so I get the allure. I always write in some mashup of horror, scifi, or fantasy, but it’s always with a darker edge.

Yes, all the folklore and paranormal stories! It’s always inspiring to see where cultures get their folklore, paranormal tales, and urban legends from. The history behind it is always really interesting and I love seeing how each culture makes their vision unique.

What do you think makes a good story?

Elizabeth: I think good characters behaving believably makes a good story. I can’t remember who said it, but, to paraphrase, “A problem your character can walk away from, is a story the reader can walk away from”. Why can’t your character walk away from this problem? Good characters have beliefs, and relationships, and depth and flaws. I prefer ones with snarky attitudes. Characters also have to believably change throughout the story. If the story ends with everyone the same, then what was the point?

And this character’s journey must be something I can relate too. For instance, I’m not going to get locked up in a castle with a beast to break a curse, but I do know what it’s like to be the ‘weird girl’ and sacrifice for my family.

Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairytale. Get that library, bestie!

Jonny: Oh, for sure! A good story can be fantastical, but it still needs to be believable in its own way with characters forced into difficult situations they can’t escape from unless they evolve. Yes! Scrappy and snarky characters to the front of the line, please!

That’s my favorite fairytale too! There’s just something so mysterious and engaging about the whole tale that I never get tired of. If you don’t mind subtitles (it’s in French), I always recommend the 1946 film version. Classic!

If you could give advice to new writers, what would you say?

Elizabeth: I say this to my perfectionist kids all the time, ‘Anything worth doing is worth doing badly. You have to be bad before you’re good.’ Your first time doing anything is going to be rough. Keep going! It’ll get better. My roughs are awful, but that’s fine. Rough drafts just have to exist to be perfect. You can’t edit an empty page.

I’ve said it before, but writing is a muscle. You must use it. Stuck? Write the dumbest version! Something may come out of it. The story will tell you where it wants to go.
Put a date on everything you write. Yes. Everything.

Save each draft separately in case you need that idea you deleted 4 drafts ago.
Pay an outside editor. A good editor will make you look like you always knew what you were doing.

Not everyone will be happy for you, and that’s okay. It’ll hurt, but you’ll be better off.

And lastly, you deserve to be here. If you haven’t published, or are traditionally published, or are independently published, if you have one book or thirty books, it doesn’t matter.

If you write, you are a writer. You deserve to be here.

Jonny: Thanks for all of this great food for thought! For all you new writers out there, a rough draft can seem awful, but it’s supposed to be flawed the first time through. With each following draft it gets a little better until it becomes something you’re proud of. It doesn’t happen overnight, but the thrill of loving what you’ve written is so worth it!

Yes, please save your drafts, people! I’m on a third draft of a short story I’m polishing and I have each version saved, especially since I have to cut down the word count to fit the anthology it’s going to be in. You never know when your former drafts might be needed!

 

Fun Facts About Elizabeth

Pancakes or waffles?

Elizabeth: Waffles! They have squares to hold all the good stuff. Nothing worse than a sad, soggy pancake with all the toppings at the edge of the plate.

Jonny: Those are my favorite too! They have to be big waffles that hold all the yummy toppings. However, I will say that I would definitely try a savory pancake. I just looked and there’s Bulgogi Scallion Pancake-adillas, Japanese Cabbage Pancakes, or even Crispy Kimchi Pancakes With Shrimp! Unfortunately no places nearby serve anything like that. 🙁

Are pineapples on pizza blasphemy or no?

Elizabeth: When I was younger, I had strong feelings about this topic. Now that I’m older, I say I’m not going to yuck somebody’s yum. If you like it, have fun! I’ll be over here eating pepperoni.

Now, Kiwi on pizza…that’s an abomination…

Jonny: Yeah, I don’t judge people for what they like, but I don’t really care for the mix of pineapples on pizza. But taco or cheeseburger pizza? Gimme, gimme!

Could you tell us a couple fun facts about you?

Elizabeth: I took a year of completive fencing when I was in middle school and am still undefeated. Because of this, I have a sword hanging on my office wall. It’s a Bilbo-hilt rapier, that my husband named Wit. Because it’s a Rapier Wit.

I’m also an actress for an interactive murder mystery dinner theater. Basically, I get to dress up, play pretend and run live games of ‘Clue’ as a side job. It’s pretty fun, and it gives me some interesting stories.

I have a master’s degree in architecture and design…so obviously that plan didn’t work out. Frankly, there weren’t enough dragons to hold my interest.

Jonny: Whoa, seriously? I’ve always wanted to do that! I love the nod to Tolkien, and I’m sure if some orcs show up they won’t like you when you’re interrupted from your writing!

I love murder mysteries! Although I must say my acting skills are not great at all. I have a friend who does a murder mystery party at least once or twice a year and we always have a blast.

Haha, it’s not your fault that we don’t have the dragons to keep your interest! But I must say, I have noticed how well you design your booth at events. It’s marvelous!

What did you read as a kid? What stuck with you the most?

Elizabeth: I read a ton as a kid. The first series I remember my mother reading me are ‘The Boxcar Children’ and ‘Nancy Drew’ while we waited for my older brother to get out of whatever sports practice he was in. Then, when I started being able to pick, I read all of the ‘Artemis Fowl’ books and, like most millennials, I was a huge ‘Harry Potter’ fan. (Go Hufflepuff!) Around middle school, I found my first high fantasy series I fell in love with, ‘Wild Magic’ by Tamora Pierce, which led to her ‘Song of the Lioness’ series. These books cemented my love of strong female leads, crazy wizards and handsome thieves. Around that time, I read ‘The Silmarillion’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings’ by JRR Tolkien and learned Anglo Saxon runes so I could pass covert notes to my friends in class. I also learned Sindarin, which is how my husband picked me up. Nerdy, I know.

I was 15 when I read ‘Twilight’ and loved it. I was 19 when I re-read it and hated it. We had to read ‘Dracula’ for school, and I ate it up. I was hitting my soft goth phase and in the early 2000’s vampires were everywhere. I read a lot of YA vampire books after that, but they all ran together except for one. ‘Sunshine’ by Robin McKinley is, to this day, one of my favorite books. I got it on a lake trip with my ‘friends’ and read the whole thing in a day. It is vampires with fairytale magic rules. McKinley is a fairytale author first and foremost and she has two beautiful retellings of Beauty and the Beast, ‘Beauty’ and ‘Rose Daughter’. I go back to these books in times of stress.

I was also a teenager when I read ‘The Dresden Files’ by Jim Butcher. I read all the ones he had out at the time, which was a round nine of them, ‘White Knight’ being the most recent. That series was instrumental in developing my twisted sense of humor, and deep distrust for the Fae.

Though not a kid anymore, I was around 20 when I finally read ‘Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch’ by Terry Pratchett and he-who-does-not-deserve-to-be-named. This book was the nail in the coffin for my weird and twisted sense of humor. And led to a mild obsession with angelology, demonology, Michael Sheen and David Tennant.

Jonny: I love how much the fantasy genre influenced you growing up. I volunteer at a local library and The Boxcar Children and Nancy Drew are still constantly checked out.

It’s funny you mention your love/hate relationship with Twlight. The same thing happened to me! Loved it the first time I read it, then I didn’t care for it the second time through. Vampires are my first supernatural creature, but I tend to stick with Anne Rice’s version. She was such a big influence on me in high school.

I’ve got a book by Pratchett somewhere around my book-filled office. I just haven’t got to it yet (tale as old as time!). I completely understand your obsession with David Tennant. To me, he’s the only Doctor Who. Timey wimey!

If you could choose to be any supernatural creature, what would you be and why?

Elizabeth: See? This is a tough one. You said ‘supernatural’ so cryptid’s are out. No mothman or Jersey Devil. If I say something like a vampire, or a werewolf, I will need to specify what version, because ‘Dracula’ vampires are very different from ‘Supernatural’ vampires. Same thing with magic users. And Tieflings have a reputation, while one should never trust a Fae.

I play ‘Monster of the Week’ with my husband and some friends. It’s like ‘Dungeons and Dragons’ light, with more ‘Buffy’. In that game, I play a ‘God-Touched’ or demi-god, so probably something along those lines.

I think I would choose a Nephilim, a child of an angel and a human woman. I’d be tall, strong, can heal people, and my metabolism would be so high I’d be able to eat anything I wanted without gaining weight.

Jonny: Sorry about that! I meant to include both in the question but will have it updated for future interviews. I adore cryptids unless they are chasing me down a dark road.

I’m definitely going to have to check out Monster of the Week sometime. I used to play D&D with friends before my author life took off.

Great choice! Any supernatural creature that can have all the pizza their heart desires is a winner in my book. Since I’m a middle child and love mischief, I’m going to do the unthinkable and become a fairy. If I can’t mess with people as a ghost, that’s the next best thing for me.

How would you conquer the world?

Elizabeth: Subtly. I don’t want to give too much away, but if your face is everywhere, everyone knows who is in charge. They know exactly who to go after. I’m a woman, and we move in the shadows.

Jonny: Right? That’s such a good plan. Never put all your cards out on the table, and you still get the world domination part done! I’m a social butterfly by nature, so I would most likely amass an army of loyal followers until our combined power is to great to ignore or fight against. Muahaha!

If you could tell your younger self anything, what would it be?

Elizabeth: I would say, “Honey, I’m going to tell you something it took me way too long to figure out.
Do no harm, but take no shit.

Lead with kindness, and if they don’t treat you with decency and respect, they don’t deserve your time or your emotions. Now, we are going to go get coffee and I’m going to tell you all about commas and paragraph breaks.”

Jonny: That’s great advice! I was a bit too trusting growing up, so my session with my younger self would probably be something similar.

 

Elizabeth and Her Works

Tell us about your upcoming book.

Elizabeth: My first book, is ‘The Azure Crown’, which is the first book in a trilogy known as ‘The Dreamers Saga’. It’s a high fantasy like Lord of the Rings told in the style of Percy Jackson. So there is sass, sarcasm, dragons and Star Wars references. It’s the story of a girl named Nessa, who is just trying to make it through her freshmen semester of college until an attempted kidnapping goes horribly wrong. She’s transported to the magical realm of Avani, where she and her rag tag group of friends must stop an evil kingdom from taking over the realm.

The audio book of ‘The Azure Crown’ is dropping early August, with a sneak peek of the sequel, ‘The Crimson Kingdom’.

‘The Crimson Kingdom’, book 2 of ‘The Dreamers Saga’ is set to release on September 6th, 2025. Nessa has begun to settle into her new life in Avani. The war rages on while her attachment to Rinn, her thief, grows into something more than friendship. But Rinn hasn’t told her everything. As his secrets begin to come to light, Nessa must choose where to put her trust while she and her friends race against the will of an evil King to save the magic of Avani. If not, Avani will die.

In other words, more sass, more dragons, Star Wars references, and lots of pinning. It’s a fun ride and I had a blast writing it!

Jonny: I’m a huge fan of LOTR and Percy Jackson, so I can’t wait to try The Azure Crown out! I’m also a hardcore fan of anything portal fantasy, so this is right up my alley.

Kudos on the upcoming audiobook release! I’m currently working on getting an audiobook of The Ruins up and it’s weird branching out in that new direction, but hopefully worth it.

Best of luck on your release of book two! It sounds like a blast.

How did you come up with the title for this book?

Elizabeth: I’m a type A person when it comes to my writing. I’m a plotter. The reason it took me so long to write book 1 is because I wanted the whole trilogy planned out from the beginning. I love that kind of writing where there’s hints early on, like in ‘Supernatural’ when Eric Kripke wrote the first 5 minutes of the pilot to carry the plot for 5 seasons (which was supposed to be the whole show). So, I had the titles planned out too.

Book one of ‘The Dreamers Saga’ is ‘The Azure Crown’ since it centers on my main character and her home kingdom, whose colors are blue and silver. She also has a blue pendant she always wears, and I won’t tell you why.

Spoilers.

Book two, my upcoming release, is titled ‘The Crimson Kingdom’. I can’t really get into detail as to why, because of spoilers, but if you read the first book, you may have a guess.

Book three is already titled too, but I’m not telling! You’ll have to find out for yourself this spring.

Jonny: Yay, I’m not the only plotter! I totally get why you plotted everything out first. Once something is published it’s pretty much set in stone, and you want to make sure your series is as well thought out and interconnected on all levels as possible.

Thanks for sharing that extra info about book one and the light spoilers for books two and three. I’m so excited for you!

What was your favorite part about writing this book?

Elizabeth: The pinning!!! At heart, I am a romance girlie who loves anything by Jane Austen. I love witty banter between potential lovers. My ideas of romance were heavily shaped by Anastasia and the American version of Sailor Moon growing up, along with Han Solo and Princess Leia. The princess and the scoundrel trope is my favorite! I loved the banter! It was so much fun finally getting to write it. There were parts where I was squealing and kicking my feet while screaming ‘just kiss already!’.

Also, 5 words…

“I yield to no king!”

Jonny: I may not be the biggest romance fan, but a well written romance can definitely make a series great. I recently read a series where that ended up being one of my favorite parts to it. I’m a sucker for witty banter, so I’m sure I’ll love it once I get to give it a try.

Do you have a favorite character in your new book? Why are they your favorite?

Elizabeth: I would be dishonest if I didn’t say this question has 2 answers.

I love my main character, Nessa Everette. She’s a realistic heroine, who gets scared, panics and isn’t instantly good at everything. I’ve read too many YA books where the heroine is immediately a BAMF, and that never felt right to me. I love seeing characters grow and come into their own.

Nessa’s greatest strength is her compassion. In a world of war and selfishness, compassion is a radical choice, one she chooses over and over again. I would like to hope I and my readers can take some of that with us.

I also love Rinn, a handsome and roguish thief. He’s complex, flawed and incredibly charming, and pickpockets when he’s stressed. He’s incredibly fun to write! I based him on a mix of Dmitri from Anastasia and Flynn Ryder from Tangled with a dash of Rick O’Connell from The Mummy. Basically, a dashing rogue who drank a lot of ‘respect women’ juice. I have grand plans for him that I get to hint at in book 2. I’m excited to reveal them in book 3!

Jonny: Your characters sound lovely! I completely agree that characters should all have some flaws. It makes them more realistic and it gives them a chance to grow and persevere against their faults. I’m a very compassionate person so I think I’d gravitate towards Nessa pretty strongly. And who doesn’t love a handsome roguish thief? I’ll do my best not to let my heart get stolen away from Rinn!

What criteria did you use when selecting the cover for your book?

Elizabeth: I have some amazing friends I’ve meet throughout my varied careers. I’ve known my cover artist since early 2017. We were in an acting troupe together and I discovered she does beautiful work. I love supporting local, independent artists so hiring her was a no brainer. Her name is Taylor Schoonover and she goes by @heycurvypumpkin on Instagram. She’s amazing. Go follow her!

I have a background in design, so I wanted to keep the design language the same for the series. Everything has to go together, and the spines have to line up. It drives me insane when series don’t do that. So whatever design we picked, we wanted to be flexible for all three books. I also wanted it to say ‘fantasy’, without looking like every other book out there.

Then I just let Taylor go for it. She sent me some options and I sent feedback and we eventually ended up with the cover you see! Trust your artists to art. Hasn’t steered me wrong yet.

Jonny: That’s amazing! There really is something to be said when you find an artist that just gets you and what you are going for. My cover artist is Mario Lampic (he’s on 99 Designs if anyone is curious), and every time I am amazed by how easily he understands my vision and executes it perfectly.

Was there a message in your book that you were trying to convey?

Elizabeth: There is a strong message about hope and courage throughout the series. Something Nessa often says is ‘do the courageous thing and courage will come’. There are challenges, things that appear too big to overcome, but they are. I was encouraged to finally write the series by my husband, who believed this was a story our daughters needed to hear. So, I wrote it for them. I want them to know that dragons exist, but they can be beaten. You just have to have courage and be kind.

Jonny: I love this message! I think it’s important now more than ever for us to have courage to do the right thing, no matter how big the obstacles are. By the end of most of my works I always try to leave a sense of hope for the reader, and that I think that really resonates with an audience.

What other projects do you have in store for the world to see in the future? Anything you can share with us?

Elizabeth: ‘The Dreamers Saga’ will be completed by spring of 2026. After that, I have plans to write some adult novels under another name since there will be some violence and spice in those. Think werewolf mafia bosses, vampires, and characters who love to curse.

So, in the future, look for books by E. B. Ward.

I’ve been working on ‘The Dreamers Saga’ for over 20 years. I have a few ideas for some short stories within that world, but no full-length novels. Once the trilogy is done, I’m afraid to touch it. This is the story that started me on the path to writing. It’s my baby, and I love it. I will be sad to leave the world of Avani, but I have a lot of other stories that need telling.

Maybe I should write that prequel after all…

Jonny: I’m so excited for you! Three books in just a couple years is no easy feat, and I understand why you would use a penname for a vibe that is different from your usual projects.

It must be so fulfilling to be able to finish the series after all the hard work you’ve put into it over the years. A prequel sounds great!

I can’t wait to see where your journey takes you next.

Alright, Elizabeth, it looks like our time here is almost up. Before we go, do you have a blog or website readers can visit for updates, events, and special offers?

Elizabeth: I am all over the internet! I post just about daily to TikTok @elizabethbirdwrites. Come give me a follow. I’m also on Instagram and Facebook @elizabethbirdwrites. If that’s too much, the links for all my socials are on my website, http://www.elizabethbirdwrites.com. I’m also on Substack @elizabethbird.

  1. Ok I haven’t even finished reading this yet but I just had to say I was sold at shadow daddy!! 😂

  2. Ok I’ve read it all the way through now. I too grew up on power rangers. Me and my sister would always argue about which power ranger we were and which of the guys was ours 😂 Beauty and the Beast is my favorite as well. I’m not going to yuck someone’s yum but I hate pineapple so I’m definitely not going to ruin my pizza with it. As for kiwis on pizza I’ve never even heard of that being a thing and I can’t say if I would like it or not because I’ve never even tried kiwi before. I wish I loved reading when I was younger. The books that started my reading journey were the Twilight books. I read the whole series in a week. I’ve never reread them and honestly I don’t know if I ever will because I want to just remember how much I loved them. Definitely going to go add the first book in this trilogy to my Goodreads TBR so I don’t forget about it. Great job with the interview Jonny!!

    • Yeah, Power Rangers, hi-ya! Oh yeah, we always fought about who got to play who. I always wanted to be the black ranger. Twinsies! Maybe we should read a Beauty and the Beast-esque book together sometime. Mainly I’m just really picky about mixing savory and sweet flavor profiles. I know there are exceptions out there that I’ll probably like but it takes a lot for me to try something out of the box like that. Kiwi is super strong like Pineapple so I’m not sure if you’d like it, but hey, try out a kiwi minus the pizza and see how ya feel! Hey, at least you love the books now! I totally agree. Sometimes it’s best not to reread books you loved for fear of ruining it the second time around. Aw, thank you! I had a ton of fun interviewing Elizabeth. She’s such a great person.
