Hey! Welcome to my site. My name is Elise, and – as strangely awesome as I may find it – I'm an author.

​

I grew up in Los Angeles where I spent hot summers holed up in my bedroom, reading Madeline L’Engle books until the wee hours of the morning. My rebellious teen years were filled with frightening tales from Clive Barker, but eventually I fell in love with all things paranormal and science fiction.

​

Though I would have preferred to live with my head in a book, “adulting” is apparently an essential survival skill. So, I spent nearly twenty years working in the entertainment industry and loved every minute of it. But eventually, I decided it was time to take a risk and breathe life into a creation of my own.

 

I currently live in snowy Western New York with my three cats (yes, I am that crazy cat lady). When I am not writing, I indulge in reading, experimenting with hand embroidery, and creating YouTube content.
