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!

Where I Am Now

Some of you know that I live part-time in Dresden Germany. We just moved to an area of the city called Neu Stadt = new city. It has a fun, bohemian feel and I love it. Here are a few pics.

the garden house where we live--yay, snow is now gone :)

Someday I'd like to write a story set here.

What do you think?

  4. Graffiti! Yes, I believe there's a story attached to that street, to the courtyard door. Particularly the door. If I were to open it where would it go? Into the future? A fairyland? A Utopian society? A war torn country? Hmmmmmm.

  5. I think the neighborhood looks cool! You should definitely write a story that's set there, because then you could take walks around the neighborhood for inspiration.
