When Elizabeth Raum was in 3rd grade, her teacher predicted that she would become a writer. It seemed impossible. Now, 150 books later, Elizabeth admits that Mrs. Brown could see into the future. Of course, it didn't happen right away. Elizabeth became a teacher and then a librarian before turning to writing fulltime. She's written biographies, nonfiction books on many topics, picture books, and several middle-grade historical novels. Her latest novel, Storm Warning, is a fictional account of the 1997 Red River Valley flood in North Dakota and Minnesota.

She's lived in seven different states and currently splits her time between North Dakota and Tennessee, enjoying the beauty of both prairie and mountains. She's delighted to be working with Chicken Scratch Books. Be sure to visit her website: www.elizabethraumbooks.com.
