Elaine Burroughs Bio

 

Hello and welcome to my site! To give you a bit of insight about me...

 

I fell in love in junior high school. Not with the football captain, but with writing and the magical power of words. Words, like humans, make us feel. Words build us up or tear us down, take us on exciting adventures through exotic lands, calm us after a long day or make us shiver with eerie delight. It was all these things and more that made me destined to put pen to paper, and I've never looked back.

 

Originally from New Orleans (I can still do a decent Cajun accent upon request), I grew up with fresh seafood, a love of old steeples, cemeteries and architecture, and exposure to a melting pot of people. After filling more journals than I could count (surely I'm not the only person who has every day of high school recorded?) I pursued the short story market, where 3 stories from my imagination wound up in anthologies.

 

Eventually I pursued the novel-length fiction market, which feels more like home. I am currently writing a paranormal series. All my books are set in iconic places such as New Orleans, New York City, Savannah, Portland, and more. For info on books I've written, see the Books page.
