Sex under enchantment, once as seduction resulting in love (as in the old ballads of Tam Lin and Thomas the Rhymer) and once -- off the page -- as rape.
On-page sexual assault and attempted rape (of a man by a man).
Liz has followed her heart through a wide variety of careers, including draft-horse farmer, field paramedic, Outward Bound instructor, athletic trainer, and roller-skating waitress, among other curious choices. She also knows more about concrete than you might suspect.
Writing as L. D. Colter she explores contemporary, epic, and dark fantasy. She has multiple short story publications in magazines and anthologies and was a 2020 WSFA Small Press Award finalist. Her debut novel A Borrowed Hell was the winner of the 2018 Colorado Book Award for Science Fiction/Fantasy and While Gods Sleep was the 2019 winner.
