Liz Tolsma has lived in Wisconsin most of her life, and now resides next to a farm field with her husband, their son and two daughters. All of their children have been adopted internationally. Her novella, Under His Wings, appeared in the New York Times bestselling collection, A Log Cabin Christmas. Her debut novel, Snow on the Tulips, released August 2013 and she’s been writing ever since. Liz says, “As every perennial gardener knows, your garden is never really complete. You’re always moving something…digging a plant up, putting in new beds…” When not busy tweaking her garden or putting words to paper, Liz enjoys reading, walking, kayaking, and camping with her family.

  2. Hi Liz. I see the Tiffany lamp on your night stand. That is because it looks familiar. I have one just like it in my nightstand. All your books sound interesting and I like the title Snow on the Tulips . We’ve seen a few springs like this in southern Ohio. Looking forward to hearing more about you in the future.

    • Thanks! The Tiffany-style lamp came from my husband’s grandmother. I love that style. My pendant lights in my kitchen are the same style.

  4. You have truly truly Beautiful garden. So vibrant….I love it. Keep up the good work. 🙂
