We've got werewolves, a stabby FMC, betrayal, lots of unaliving, fighting, and being used as a pawn in someone else's game.

What more could you want in a book?

What am I looking forward to as an author?

I can't wait to work with @faylane.bsky.social on the cover design for my upcoming urban fantasy novel #BeingRed this winter!

Before that, however, I'm excited to dive back into Escape from the Bloodbringer, which I took a break from drafting in 2019.

My novella *Clever Arula* is a more realistic fairy tale retelling of The Clever Farmer's Daughter by the Grimm Brothers.

I would love some reviews in advance of my full-length novel's release in February!

My name is Elena, and I write books with magic, romance, adventure, and the kick-ass heroines I always wanted to be when I grew up.

I am publishing my debut, an urban fantasy novel titled #BeingRed, in February 2026.
