About Lizzy Appelquist

Lizzy Appelquist is the debut author of Heartbeats of the Prey, a slow-burn fantasy romance featuring hidden identities, epic prophecies, and at least one morally questionable love interest. A California mom of three, Lizzy spends her rare “me time” living in fantasy worlds. Growing up, you could usually find her squirreled away in some corner, having a good, angsty cry over a book. Beyond writing, Lizzy is active in the creative YouTube space, where her family documents their adventures on the channel GrowingUpOutdoors. They venture into caves, explore waterfalls, and chase the kinds of experiences that inspire the magical worlds she writes about.
