About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Hutchison Bernard is a bestselling author of historical and women’s fiction. She has a lifelong interest in human consciousness, metaphysics, extrasensory perception, and spirituality—concepts she often explores in her novels.

Elizabeth’s first career was music. She was a vocalist, traveled extensively, and has written over 100 songs ranging from pop to jazz, rock, and country. She plays piano and flute, both of which she studied formally. Her later careers focused on PR, marketing, and publishing.

At home with her husband, she has two rescue dogs—a Lab and a Boxer mix. One of her favorite pastimes is walking with them in the desert and mountains of Arizona.

Historical Novels

Elizabeth enjoys the extensive research required to make historical fiction compelling and credible.  The Beauty Doctor is a suspenseful tale that takes place in the early days of cosmetic surgery—when the world of medicine was like the Wild West and beauty doctors were the newest breed of outlaw. Temptation Rag: A Novel immerses readers in the bawdy atmosphere of vaudeville and early twentieth-century Black musical theater in a story about the price of freedom, the longing for immortality, and the human need to find forgiveness.

Her 2023 release and Amazon Kindle #1 Bestseller, Sisters of Castle Leod, is set in Scotland at the turn of the twentieth century. The novel, inspired by real people and events, is an emotionally charged story of two very different sisters torn apart by jealousy and superstition, and the impossible leap of faith that could finally bring them together. Sisters of Castle Leod is Book 1 of the series Historic Women of the Highlands.

Elizabeth’s latest release (July 25, 2024), The Seaforth Heiress: Lady of the Last Prophecy, is Book 2 of Historic Women of the Highlands and an Amazon #1 Bestselling New Release in Biographical Historical Fiction. In 1803, the family of Lord Seaforth lives under the shadow of a dark prophecy. Over a century earlier, Coinneach Odhar, known as the Brahan Seer, foresaw the demise of the Seaforth line. There is little doubt among Scottish Highlanders that the end of the dynasty is drawing near. Inspired by true events, the story follows the incredible journey of Mary Mackenzie, eldest daughter of Lord and Lady Seaforth, as she struggles to save her family’s legacy and become the only woman ever to claim the mantle of Clan Mackenzie chief.
