Liz Kinchen is a writer, meditation teacher, and Buddhist practitioner. Her life is an interwoven tapestry of writing, healing from abuse, and spiritual journey. Her debut memoir, Light in Bandaged Places, portrays the creation of this tapestry, from childhood loneliness, young betrayal, and the journey to wholeness. With graduate degrees in computer science and counseling psychology, she worked in software development management for twenty-one years before moving into the nonprofit sector for seven- teen years as executive director of a small organization working with underserved children and families in Hon- duras. Her passions are loving her family, meditating, teaching mindfulness, writing, talking with close friends, and walking in nature. She is a contributing author to the anthology, Art in the Time of Unbearable Crisis, published by She Writes Press in 2022. Liz lives in the greater Boston area with her husband of over thirty years, with whom she raised three beautiful children, and she happily spends significant time on Sanibel Island, Florida.
