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!

IN HIS EYES is almost here! Calling reviewers and cover reveal bloggers.

Call for reviewers and cover reveal bloggers for 
In His Eyes 
Indelibles Valentine’s Anthology

Just in time for Valentines Day, the Indelibles bring you a one-of-a-kind young adult anthology! Sixteen original short stories, all from the point of view of our favorite male characters - some are old flames from our novels and some were dreamed up especially for this anthology. 

Let these imminently crushable, swoon-worthy guys show you what romance looks like – in his eyes. 

The contributors to In His Eyes include award winners, frequent “Top 100” placers, and hot 2011 debut authors. 

If you'd like to review IN HIS EYES or post a cover reveal on your blog, let me know in the comments.

In His Eyes is FREE at Smashwords, and $0.99 at Amazon and Barnes&Noble - hopefully to go free there as well by our release date on February 14th for Valentines Day.

You could also add In His Eyes to your TBR list on Goodreads.

For more information about the Indelibles, check out our blog, facebook page, or follow us on Twitter
