About Me

Hi!
My name is Elizabeth McColloch and one thing I'm sure you already know about me is that I love to read!

My love for books goes back as far as I can remember. When I was growing up, my parents kept me well supplied with storybooks and a good set of encyclopedias.

My favorite stories in my early years were The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.

In high school I read The Good Earth and loved it. Other favorites from years past are To Kill a Mockingbird, Giovanni's Room, and Black Like Me.

All of these books have been banned and/or challenged someplace, at sometime. Some stay on the banned list year after year.

I still like these books. I'm a firm believer that there is something useful to be learned from any book, no matter if we agree or disagree with the material presented.

Love it or hate it, our educated has been advanced because of it!

I read both fiction and non-fiction.

I usually have one -- or more likely a stack of them -- close to me when I'm at home.

Right now (2025) I'm especially interested in, and concerned about, our government and social justice issues.

I believe in fairness for all, freedom for each and every person to make their own life choices. Everyone deserves equal rights, equal opportunity, equal treatment.

I believe in freedom of religion, and freedom from religion.

No one group of people has the right to decide for others how they should live and force them to do so.

My book, SAVING KATY, is about a young family split apart when Katy follows her mother into a non-denominational church that turns out to be more like a cult. As Katy's husband learns more about the beliefs of the church, he tells Katy he will not have their children exposed to such teachings. He vows to do whatever is necessary to see that it doesn't happen.

Available from Amazon

Welcome to my website and thanks for reading!
