D. Elizabeth Ayers
After receiving her Bachelor’s Degree in theatre, D. Elizabeth Ayers set out to be a movie star. She ended up waiting on thousands of tables and brewing gallons of coffee for the tired masses. Her greatest claim to movie fame was being an extra in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. Ayers didn’t even admit that she might be a writer until she completed her first novel. Nowadays, she admits it freely and revels in the fact that she gets to play all the parts now!
