Graves, Elisabeth

ELISABETH GRAVES, descendent of an old Florida family, grew up in a small citrus-industry town not far from Disney World, her first employer. A former wardrobe assistant, theme-park waitress, seafood-joint cashier, graphic artist, advertising copywriter, and forensic librarian, she lives on a Central Florida lake that houses many an alligator and poisonous water snake. She likes to read the headstone inscriptions in old cemeteries in her spare time. BLACK RIVER is her first novel. A sequel, DEVIL'S KEY, is forthcoming from NHP in 2014.
