Elizabeth J. Smith

Author of Fiction with a Christian Worldview

Whether it be for war or love, no one in Harriford Grange can afford to surrender.

England 1940. Rosewood Manor is chosen as a satellite of Bletchley Park, Britain's codebreaking centre. Located outside Manchester in Northern England, quaint Harriford Grange is an unassuming choice. However, as bombs fall on surrounding cities, our heroes find the war looming closer than they ever imagined.

Capturing snapshots from around the village, Rosewood Manor: Harriford Grange at War shares stories from the British Homefront. Sweet romance abounds as codes are cracked, wounds are healed, and prejudices are overcome, all with the help of God's Word. You'll reunite with old friends and make new ones, learn about World War II, and fall in love along with 8 unlikely couples.
Pour yourself a cuppa and spend some time with those we now honor as 'The Greatest Generation.'

*Included are Puzzles for You and Wartime Recipes.*

Claire: When the boy you thought you were over is now the man standing between you and your dreams…or is he?


When teenaged Ryan left her waiting at the haunted house and then moved halfway across the country…okay, 1/3 of the way…amusement park heiress Claire resolved to put him out of her heart forever. His brother will inherit the other half of Pony Island, after all. She’ll never have to talk to Ryan again. With a little hard work, and no help from Reynaldo the peacock, they’ll put her park back on the map. Wait, the heir is Ryan?

Ryan: What do you do when the one place you wanted to escape holds the heart of the one person you’ve always wanted?


After his dad’s funeral, Ryan needs to get back to Nashville – and away from Claire, his childhood crush all-grown-up – ASAP. That’s impossible when he’s announced heir of his family’s half of the dying amusement park. Stubborn Claire – in her way too adorable vintage makeover – refuses to consider selling, but that’s the only sensible option, isn’t it?

Or is this challenge their second chance at love?

Do I Look Amused? is a standalone in the For Your Amusement series. It is dual POV and has sweet and clean romance, language, and humor.

In a Book, one always finds a Friend.

Reading has been a passion of mine ever since I was young. Writing seemed like a natural progression. I wrote my first mystery short in seventh grade and have loved writing fiction ever since. Whether or not my work directly talks about God, it is my goal to glorify Him in it. I strive to create fascinating worlds, interesting characters, and immersive storylines, all with clean language and discretion when dealing with sensitive topics. It is truly amazing to get to share my work with you. Thank you for visiting with me!
