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!

Announcing SEAWEED!!

You might have seen my cover around on the blogosphere, but I've purposely been keeping quiet about it because I've been waiting for it to go free on Amazon. It's also free on itunes and smashwords. It's a big cover/book reveal this week on my blog, so I'm sneaking this in.

A teen swim athlete discovers a merfolk world that threatens to keep her out of the ocean forever.

Dori Seward can’t wait to get out of Eastcove, a sleepy fishing village on the border of New Brunswick and Maine. She bides her time by hanging out with friends, attending swim club, and holding her biggest competition, Colby–who wants more than just friendship, at arm’s length.

Then Tor Riley comes to town and he has everything Dori dreams of in a boyfriend–looks, athleticism and mystery.

But Tor also has a tantalizing secret and Dori is determined to find out what it is. The truth is crazier than her wildest imaginations and more dangerous, too.

Dori has new fantastical enemies , and they will do anything to get to her.

Her life, her dreams and her love for Tor are all weighing in the balance. Will Dori risk it all in order to have it all?

    1. I'm so glad you enjoyed reading Seaweed! My writing schedule is booked for this year, but because I've had a lot of requests for a sequel, I have it planned to write for next year. :)

      In the meantime you might like my new serial series called Love, Tink--a modern take on the Peter Pan story.
