Author/imaginator & photographer (also rare Pacific Northwest Native), Elle grew up in Seattle, WA., with the Cascade Mountain range to the east and Olympics to the west.

Elle has between three and five cats, depending on who's counting. She's lived in four states, London England, and Hong Kong; always knows what time it is, and has little problem finding parking even in the most difficult places.

Elle's new series Accidental Roots is set in the Skagit Valley of Western Washington and made its debut spring of 2017. Writing has always been a passion but not something she was able to take seriously until recently. Now her head is full of ideas and not enough time in each day.
