Coffee With the Authors – E.L. Boyer
Coffee With the Authors
Thursday, May 9, 11 am – 12 noon
E.L. Boyer (“A Lie More Real than Truth”)
Liz Boyer worked as a registered nurse for 25 years before turning to literary pursuits. This is a work of fiction, however, the author’s curiosity about missing people spurred her to examine the possibility that a person could disappear and make a new life for herself.
Author Statement:“I attended Georgia State College as an English major. But medicine was my calling and I am very happy I had all of those years as a nurse. For five years I worked for a medical management company and was director of operations for three years. Then my husband retired and we moved to the coastal Carolina area. I enjoy playing golf, Mah Jongg, but most of all reading. I served as secretary for the local art council for 7 years and really enjoyed getting to know more about the art community. There are many artists and writers in the area I live in and they are extremely talented. The coastal area brings out one’s creativity. In 2020, I developed a syndrome known as Burning Mouth. It is exactly what it is named, the mouth burns constantly. I am in a couple of Facebook groups about it and the stories are sad but informative. I pray for all of those that are suffering with this syndrome. The hope is there will be a cure one day but there are so few people with it that it does not get the funding other more serious diseases receive and deserve. Writing helps divert my attention from this malady and I find comfort in creating characters and scenarios.”
