About Liz Ussery

Liz Ussery is the author of The Retreat: A Kepos Novel (Book 1 of The Kepos Files) and Dandelion Pact. She writes the kind of books that make you double-check your doors at night, or sigh dramatically into a glass of wine, depending on the genre. 

When she's not typing furiously at her keyboard or rewriting the same paragraph seventeen different ways, Liz runs a crystal shop where she hoards pretty rocks like a slightly mystical magpie. She has a deep love for psychological thrillers, dystopian works, twisty plots, morally gray characters, and thriller movies that leave you reeling at the credits and questioning your life choices. (Yes, she did call that twist halfway through, and yes, she's still mad about the one she didn't.) 

Liz lives in Illinois, surrounded by cornfields, with her three extremely judgmental, but adorable, cats who graciously allow her to live in their house. Her writing blends emotional depth with sharp turns, whether she's pulling readers into a slow-burn romance or a mind-bending thriller. Either way, you might need tissues. Or therapy. Or both.
