Hi, I’m Elaine! I write romantic fantasy stories and create content for the readers who would do anything for their friends, who get breathless when the protagonist and (emotionally available) love interest brush hands, and who crave stories that feel like home. 

I have always loved storytelling and have found my way back to it after convincing myself I needed to give away most of my books, get my degree in something other than creative writing, and work my way up the corporate ladder. When I’m not writing or reading or talking about those things on the internet, I can be found trying my hand at amateur interior design, photographing beautiful people and things, or dissolving into a puddle over how cute my dogs are.
