Elaine’s passion is to write contemporary books that are honest, concerned with real lives and real issues, with a spiritual edge.

As well as writing, Elaine is also a speaker and spoke at TEDx UC Davis in San Francisco.

Elaine and photographer husband Steve spend up to three months of each year travelling and commit one month of the year to work with a non-profit organization.

Being part of a creative community is important to Elaine. She belongs to several writing communities in Australia and around the world.

Mentoring and assisting new writers is a big part of Elaine’s life.

Elaine has worked with many emerging authors in the last few years, helping them to realise the dream of writing their own books. Her retreats are crafted with the intention of unlocking the words and ideas participants have held in their hearts and minds.

When she’s not travelling the world in search of quirky bookstores or attending writing retreats in exotic locations, she can be found in the Perth hills, sitting in her library, writing, reading, mentoring writers, and hugging her golden retriever.

‘People say I have the dream life. I get to do what I love – write, study, travel, mentor writers and enjoy living in one of the best cities in the world. I agree with Marc Anthony, If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.’
