I’m Elisabeth and I’ve been an avid gamer and writer since as far back as I can remember.  Life hasn’t always been easy, and when things have gotten particularly hard, I’ve turned to video games in order to keep myself going.

The idea behind this book is to explore how video games have saved my life and my sanity over the 30 years I’ve had them.  From a Commodore 64 to the PS4 and XBox One, I’ve played on so many platforms and played so many different games.  These games have gotten me through many things: my mother’s illnesses, our house burning down, her eventual death and other life events.   They also taught me how to be strong and, no matter how you’re born, that you can become whoever you want.  

After being stuck in life for six years, I’m finally working toward putting my life back together and achieving my dreams.  Any ideas of stories you would like to hear, or even your own stories of how video games may have changed your life, would help me shape my draft into what it should be.  Ask me questions, let me know what you think, and I’ll look forward to the feedback.  

Thank you!
Elisabeth
