Elizabeth Briggs is a full-time geek who writes books for teens and adults. She plays the guitar, mentors at-risk teens, and volunteers with a dog rescue group. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and a pack of small, fluffy dogs.
Elizabeth’s debut novel, FUTURE SHOCK (Albert Whitman & Co, March 2016) is a Young Adult Sci-Fi. A Latina teenager raised in Los Angeles’s foster care system with an eidetic memory is recruited by a tech company for a mission – a trip 30 years into the future.

- Book currently reading/most recently read: TWIST by Karen Akins – SO GOOD!
