“I sometimes cry when I am writing. I have a heart for broken people because I’ve been one.”

Elle’s life reads like one of her novels—full of twists, heartache, and the kind of mistakes that leave scars. Betrayals that cut deep. Losses that rewired her soul. Moments where grace felt like a rumor, and redemption seemed impossible.

But God? He wasn’t done with her.

Through every failure, every grief, every time she stumbled toward the wrong light, He kept writing a better story than she could’ve imagined. And now?

She pours that hard-won hope into her characters—flawed fighters, reckless dreamers, and wounded hearts stumbling toward redemption. Because she knows what it’s like to need it.

When she’s not crafting suspense that keeps readers up past midnight, or love stories that steal their breath, she’s probably drinking too much tea, scribbling ideas on random scraps of paper, or reminding herself (again) that grace isn’t earned—it’s given.

Just like in her books, her own story isn’t about perfection. It’s about rescue.
