- About Me:
- Elizabeth Barrette lives in central Illinois, where she works as a writer and editor. She writes articles, essays, short stories, reviews, interviews, poetry, and more. Her main fields include speculative fiction, gender studies, and alternative religions. She often presents panels and workshops at conventions and festivals. She previously served as the Dean of Studies at the Grey School of Wizardry and as Managing Editor of PanGaia. She has eagerly observed the rise of electronic publication and online writing, and hopes to continue working with this cutting edge of literature. She enjoys suspension-of-disbelief bungee-jumping and spelunking in other people’s reality tunnels.
Visit her websites:
Hypatia's Hoard of Reviews
http://reviewarchive.iblog.my
This site reprints book, music, and product reviews -- mostly speculative fiction novels with some Earth-friendly nonfiction, folk music, Tarot decks, and other goodies. Author announcements and news from the publishing industry also appear.
Gaiatribe: Ideas for a Thinking Planet
http://gaiatribe.geekuniversalis.com
Part of the Geek Universalis Network, this site supports the premise that humanity is the part of the biosphere that can think, which gives us the responsibility to care for life and the Earth. Here you'll find discussions of renewable energy, sustainable development, intentional community, nature religions, environmental awareness, and related topics.
The Wordsmith's Forge
Here you'll find discussions of writing, editing, environmental & social issues, and other interesting stuff. A star attraction is the monthly Poetry Fishbowl, in which the audience provides prompts and the author writes poems inspired by them.
- What is your interest in or connection to Wales?
- I love the Welsh language and history. Celtic poetic forms appeal to me. I have some Celtic heritage. My spiritual practices include Celtic roots.

- Hi Elizabeth.
I was born in Chicago and lived in southern Illinois (Collinsville) as a child, but spent most of my adult life in the Quad City area of Moline, Rock Island, Davenport and Bettendorf. How's about you?

The Chicago Tafia Welsh Society said… - Hi Elizabeth,
Check out the website for the Centre for Alternative Technology near Corris in Wales - www.cat.org.uk
It's been going since the early 70's, great stuff there, if you ever visit Wales I recon you might get a kick out of it.
Cheers
