May I introduce myself: Elizabeth Conte, women’s fiction writer, creating beauty for the mind!
“My goal is to bring what I love about 19th century literture–deep characters, true romance, beautiful imagery, meaningful dialogue, and rich stories that linger in the heart–and bring it to the 21st century reader
I love books that are layered, clever, and deeply developed—stories that are both romantic and rich with meaning.
Much of what I love about writing was shaped by the voices of the 19th century: Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters, Edith Wharton, Henry James, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Their influence led me to create literary romance—bringing what I cherish classic literature into a style that speaks to modern sensibilities.
I write to offer stories you can escape into, that fascinate the mind, and linger in the heart.
My goal for writing is to bring beauty into the world. When I say beauty, I don’t mean pretty or attractive, happy or cheerful. I mean the ethereal quality of beauty that pleases the intellect or moral sense. I want to uplift the mind, the soul, the inner part of humanity, and inspire how one chooses to view the world. Connecting to the imagination and escaping into the creative stimulates the emotions positively, connecting us to our humanness. That is beauty to me, and what I hope I bring to the writing world, and to readers.
