However, once she started writing and publishing, she developed a love for reading and now listens and reads 2-5 books every month taking some time off of her TV watching.

Living in Scotland, she also spent a lot of time walking the sprightly white and black gorgeous cocker spaniel Teal that belonged to her aunt. She went fishing out on Loch Ness, drank whisky and fly fished the latter of which she still does to this day.

Lizzy currently makes her home between New Zealand, Austria, and London, where she lives with her young family. As a full-time author, she spends much of her time writing followed by leisurely weekends.

On Saturdays, she usually has her brunch at around 11 am then takes a stroll at the local farmers market. During the mid-afternoon, she has a pint at a pub and sometimes will have dinner out during the evening.
On Sundays, she usually has her coffee while reading the paper and keeping up with family via Skype. If the weather is a little too warm she usually takes Georgia and Billie her two daughters to go swim somewhere or have an afternoon picnic at the park.
