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!

My First Writing Retreat

I'm about to leave on my first writing retreat. Six YA writers from British Columbia are meeting up at a coastal retreat on Vancouver Island and I'm so excited. I've been to writing conferences before but never to an author retreat.

something like this
This is part of my Spring Break blog/internet break, but I wanted to let you know what I was up to and that there will be pictures!

    1. We organized it ourselves, but I can't really take any credit for the "organizing" part. :)

  5. Have a great time, Elle - nothing like beautiful British Columbia...is there?! Of course, with you being from one of the prettier spots you know all about the beauty of this great Province.

    Enjoy yourself - be inspired!
