I'm author ELLE STRAUSS and welcome to my website!

I write fun, lower Young Adult (teen) fiction to do with whimsical things like time-travel, fairies and merfolk.

When my serious side peeks out, she's called LEE STRAUSS. She likes to write upper YA about real things that have happened in the past, or made up things that could quite possibly happen in the future.

This blog is about books, mine and other fab authors', but occasionally I'll share about other topics.

Thanks for dropping by!

Tuesday Word Smart


Word of the Week:

PREDILECTION (pred uh LEK SHUN) n a natural preference for something

The impatient judge had a predilection for well-prepared lawyers who said what the meant and didn’t waste his time.

Joe’s predilection for saturated fats has added roughly a foot to his waistline in the past twenty years.
