Hi, my name's Elle. I'm author of Kept, Lost, B-Side and Found (the Arielle Lockley series), plus Geli Voyante's Hot or Not. I live in London with my boyfriend, Olly, and our cat, Compost. (Don't ask. OK... you did.) Here I am at ZSL London Zoo - despite the zebra love going on in this photo, giraffes are my absolute favourite.
I spent my childhood in Yorkshire reading lots of books (obviously), then headed to Scotland for four years to read a MA (Hons) International Relations - Social Anthropology at the University of St Andrews, which also involved a lot of reading.
I have to confess, some of the textbooks, journals and articles I had to read weren't *that* entertaining... So, in the summer between my third and fourth year, when I should have been working on my dissertation, I turned my hand to writing my first chick lit book. The rest, as they say, is history, although it took me several years after graduating to get my first book out there (and it wasn't the one I wrote that summer).
When I'm not writing, I love exploring new places, watching musicals on the West End, and eating yummy food. I'm also a massive fan of The Killers, Disney, Audrey Hepburn movies, Scrabble, sunshine and tea. Oh, and reading, of course!
As well as finding out more about my books on here, you can read all about my London life (that includes playing tourist, naturally), my travel adventures, beauty reviews, latest loves, musical reviews, foodie stuff, as well as other bits and bobs.
Thanks for stopping by! x
