Elizabeth Norris was an English noblewoman known for her marriage to Edward Wray, Groom of the Bedchamber to King James I of England. Born circa 1603, she became known as the 3rd Baroness Norreys. Her elopement in 1622 with Edward Wray, which displeased the king, is said to have inspired Orlando Gibbons Fantazies.

In modern times, a different Elizabeth Norris briefly taught high school English and history before moving from southern California to Manhattan. She is fond of guacamole, red velvet cupcakes, sushi, and Argo Tea. Her first novel, UNRAVELING, was published in April 2012 and tells the story of one girl's fight to save her family, her world, and a boy she never expected.
