Liz Colvin

Liz Colvin is a veteran caregiver, retired insurance professional, and mental health advocate who has spent more than a decade navigating the realities of bipolar disorder and co‑occurring conditions in her family.

Drawing on her experience as a mother, probation officer, and community volunteer, she writes and speaks about the hidden burdens caregivers carry and the systems they must battle to secure care for their loved ones.

Her published work has appeared in Austin Woman, the Internation Bipolar Foundation, Texas Parks and Wildlife, and elsewhere. When not immersed in writing pursuits, Colvin indulges her passions in travel and animal rescue. She is an advocate of holistic well-being, fair housing, reading, family time, and emphases a balanced lifestyle.

Liz lives in Texas, where she cherishes time with her daughter, her granddaughter, and the “village” of friends and relatives who helped them endure. Moodshine is her first book.
