Liz Torlée lived and worked in England and Germany before emigrating to Canada in her twenties. She built a long career in both advertising and market research but is now devoted to her real passion: writing fiction.Since she was a child, Liz has loved watching and learning about the stars and exploring the mythology of the night sky. She has always been intrigued by the whole notion of fate and how, through "coincidence" and other mysterious means, it makes our lives intersect in strange and far-reaching ways. The cunning tactics of fate have fueled the central ideas and themes in her work.Along with her husband, Liz is an avid traveller, particularly enjoying any country with a desert! She is fascinated by the vast, ever-changing beauty of the desert landscape, and this has inspired many of the settings for her novels.A Long Walk With Fate (2025), published by Blue Denim Press, is Liz's third novel. The previous two, also from Blue Denim Press, are The Way Things Fall (2020) and In Love With The Night (2022). She had two short stories published in 2024: Flight, in the anthology Will There Be A Sunset? (Chicken House Press), and "Narrowing the Field," in the Hill Spirits VI anthology Change, (Blue Denim Press.) Her story "Orion Winked" (2025), was one of four chosen to be engraved on a picnic table, as part of the town of Cobourg's Picnic on Poetry initiative.Liz and her husband live in mid-town Toronto.
