Lim, Elizabeth (Elizabeth Lim)
Let us delve into the fantastical world of Elizabeth Lim, an author who has more layers than an onion in a Russian nesting doll.
Elizabeth Lim, you see, is not your run-of-the-mill fantasy author. Oh no, she's a New York Times bestselling scribe, a film and video game composer, and—wait for it—a doctorate holder in music composition from The Juilliard School. Yes, you read that right. She's the sort of person who makes you question what you've been doing with your life while you've been binge-watching the latest season of that show you won't admit you watch.
Our dear Elizabeth's journey into the realm of storytelling began in the hallowed halls of the internet, where she penned fanfics for the likes of Sailor Moon and Star Wars. Imagine her surprise when she realized, "Wow, people actually read my stuff. And that's kinda cool!" But alas, a teacher told her she had "too much voice" in her essays. Too much voice? That's like telling a peacock it's too colorful. So, she took a hiatus from writing to focus on not flunking English, which is a bit like telling Mozart to take a break from composing to focus on his kazoo lessons.
After years of musical escapades, Elizabeth returned to her first love: writing. What started as a casual fling soon turned into a full-blown commitment. She's penned gems like "Six Crimson Cranes" and "The Blood of Stars duology," which have been translated into over twenty languages. That's right, her words are globetrotting faster than a backpacker with a Eurail pass.
Elizabeth's stories are a delightful blend of myths, fairy tales, and a dash of East Asian flair—a nod to her secondary studies at Harvard. Yes, Harvard. She's the literary equivalent of a Swiss Army knife, equipped with all the tools to make you laugh, cry, and wish you paid more attention in your high school literature class.
So, if you're in the mood for tales spun with the finesse of a Juilliard-trained composer and the imagination of a lifelong fantasy aficionado, Elizabeth Lim is your go-to gal. Just don't ask her to tone down her voice; we think it's just right. You can search the Nest for articles on Lim, Elizabeth (Elizabeth Lim) over at https://www.SFcrowsnest.info/tag/Elizabeth-Lim
