Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Elizabeth Bailey grew up in Africa with unconventional parents, where she loved reading and drama. On returning to England, she developed her career in acting, theatre directing and finally writing.

Elizabeth's latest venture is The Lady Fan Mystery series, published by Sapere Books. The novels feature amateur sleuth Lady Ottilia Fanshawe and a cast of family members including her husband and champion Lord Francis Fanshawe. She originally published Regency romances with Harlequin Mills & Boon and has many titles in her Brides by Chance Regency Adventures series, now also published by Sapere, as well as standalone Regency and Georgian romances.

Elizabeth also writes edgy women's fiction: Her dual time novel Fly The Wild Echoes, which deals with past lives, and For One More Tomorrow, where the ghost of the real Macbeth returns, protesting his villainous portrayal by Shakespeare. And she has published a romantic suspense novella, Silence of a Stranger.

Elizabeth lives in Sussex, England. She is still an inveterate reader with eclectic tastes and she spends her spare time helping other writers improve their craft.

    First time reading anything by this author, wasn't sure what to expect but it was surprisingly good, worth my time for this short read

    This was a really sweet and quick read but it says what it has to to make it entertaining and enjoyable, so that is what counts.
    Loved the way the Time-slip occurs and what happens afterwards and the characters are quite interesting and have good communication.
    I will admit to getting a few ‘chills’ while reading the story. Lol!

    An intriguing time travel story involving portraits where both hero and heroine slip. The suspense of whether good or evil will be victorious keeps you turning the pages with a surprise ending. Well written for such a short story, I highly recommend it

    I love this author's stories. This one was excellent but too short. I love the characters, the action, and the ending. This could turn into a full book for sure.

    This short story from Elizabeth Bailey is a thrilling read, packing so much emotion into three chapters. I wish it had been longer.

    It is but the briefest of stories holding you captivated as it does Muriel in the story. It will take me longer to describe this charming little book than it will take you to read it. I enjoyed the two interesting twists.

    A bit weird, but fun and clean. I don't normally go for anything this short, but it was free so I decided to go for it. Would read more by the author.
