I can’t read anything this indie author writes without smiling. Liz is intelligent and insightful with a great sense of humor – just the right amount of wacky. She posts the best pics to Twitter, hands down, and I fully believe that one day I will be the one to say “I told you so” when it’s revealed that Liz is actually an undercover agent for S.H.I.E.L.D.
