Hi, y'all!

My author name is "Elysia Lumen Strife," but sometimes I'm categorized as "Elysia Strife."

My account is currently split. You can find the rest of my books here:

Amazon bestselling author Elysia Strife is best known for her sweet (often clean) holiday romance with tough but humble male leads and feisty but kind-hearted women. If you're looking for a cozy read with lots of treats, snuggles, a touch of humor, and happily ever afters, you're in the right place. Strife designs her books to be uplifting and inspirational escapes.

Her work typically features small towns, country settings, Christmas themes, and chivalrous characters who sometimes swear and get themselves into and out of suspenseful s

I'd have to pick the few deja vu dreams that occasionally equate to clairvoyance. I've always wondered if it was some level of repressed subconscious that just finished a puzzle my conscious mind hadn't solved yet. I'd love to study brain chemistry, human networking, and the effects of electrotherapy a little more in depth. Maybe it could make a fun sci-fi/cyberpunk novel with a few tech and socioeconomic twists.(less)

Then I distract myself with something else for a few hours, a couple of days while I mull it over. Exercise helps reduce stress. Sometimes that's enough. Other times I need to work on another book or go explore the world, depending on how stuck I am. New experiences can give your aching brain muscle a rest. And then there's sleep. Just make sure you keep a journal beside you in case you have a eureka moment in the middle of the night. Don't forget a pencil. That's the worst.
When you return and see those questions you wrote down, it makes it easier to remember where you left off, and kick start the writing process again.(less)

Elysia Strife Hey, y'all! If you're looking for my books but don't see them here, check out the "Elysia Strife" page here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

My pen name is Elysia Lumen Strife, but I shorten it to Elysia Strife for sweet romance and use EL Strife for my scifi. (A mistake I made in the early stages of indie authorship) I had no idea I was going to keep publishing or end up with so many books!

Anyway, my apologies for any confusion!

All my best,
Elysia/E L
