J. Elle Ross is a California native, still residing in Southern California with her husband, three dogs, 28 chickens (since last count), and two turkeys (until November, that is). The four children have become adults and are doing their own thing, these days. She is a writer by day, NICU RN by night, and a wannabe homesteader in between.When not working with the babies, writing the stories, or tending to the animals and garden, she is reading anything she can get her hands on, watching way too many movies, binging TV shows, and killing it in her fantasy football leagues (yes, plural).
