Chesapeake Crimes II is now available from Maryland's Tidewater Publishers. Elizabeth's "The Last to Know," featuring an egotistical, would-be murderer, is included in this collection and was mentioned in Betty Webb's review in the spring 2007 issue of Mystery Scene.

In 2006, Elizabeth received the Dove Award from the Popular Culture Association's Detective/Mystery Caucus. The award recognizes "outstanding contributions to the serious study of mystery and crime fiction"; past recipients include H.R.F. Keating and the late John M. Reilly (editor of Twentieth Century Crime and Mystery Writers).
