About the Author

At the age of 6, I was not amused.

Since then, I’ve learned not to take myself too seriously.

Storytelling is my passion. Writing is my first love, but I dabble in painting, costuming, and hosting wildly themed dinner parties. 

My stories are set in the exciting and glamorous world of Formula 1 racing, of which I am a long-time fan.

I love to lead workshops and welcome invitations to speak.

I’m a lifelong Pittsburgher and a Carnegie Mellon graduate.

I’m also a reader, a foodie, an Episcopalian, and a Girl Scout.

I believe that everyone deserves a happily-ever-after.

The minute I read Elle’s pitch, I wanted to read more. There was something about the sparkle and warmth of her voice that captivated me from the outset – she has a rare talent for fusing plot drama with emotional drama, in an utterly believable but still magically escapist way. (Her sexy F1 hero didn’t hurt either!)
