Elle
Elle was born and raised in Yorkshire, England, where she still resides. After many years of putting aside her creative ideas, in 2012, she was inspired to write again. The surprising result was her debut, contemporary, romantic suspense series, Fractured. A self-confessed daydreamer, she loves to create strong, sexy and diverse characters, cocooned in opulent yet realistic settings that draw the reader in with every twist and turn until the very last page. A voracious reader for as long as she can remember, she is never without her beloved Kindle. When she is not absorbed in the newest release or a trusted classic, she can often be found huddled over her laptop, tapping away new ideas and plots for forthcoming works. She is currently working on the fifth book in the series.
Redemption and Kindle Unlimited
Hi all, Back in May, I kindly (and regrettably for some) informed you that I would be removing my novels from the Kindle Unlimited subscription programme. All but one of these novels has now been removed. The last novel, Redemption, will expire on 13 August 2022. If you are a KU subscriber and would like to ‘keep’ a copy of this, you can download it until 11:59 (pacific time) and it will still be accessible on your device even after it has been released from KU. You will be able to keep it for as long as you like and also be able to read it as many times as…
Attention all romance readers!
Do you only read your novels using your Kindle Unlimited subscription? Do you prefer to purchase your novels via B&N or Applebooks? If so, read on… When I first started publishing my novels in 2014, I was originally published on all ebook retailers, including libraries and independent subscription providers. I chose this path because back then the Kindle programme wasn’t particularly desirable in how authors were paid in exchange for their commitment and exclusivity. Over the years, it has become more appealing to those of us who were curious about the rewards of being exclusive. So in 2019, regardless that I had fabulous sales traction and visibility on B&N, Kobo,…
Redemption playlist
Hi all, So, this is something I always say I’m going to do, but I always forget to! Like most (if not all) writers, music plays a large part in what I write. Just a simple sentence or a single lyric can inspire. Throughout writing Redemption, various songs were fitting and appropriate for the scenes I was writing. Below is the fairly extensive playlist for the book (and not in any particular order). Elle X Redemption – Playlist: Kaiser Chiefs – I predict a riot The Rolling Stones – Gimme Shelter Steroephonics – Maybe tomorrow Faithless – Insomnia George Michael – Killer/Papa was a Rollin’ Stone George Michael – The…
New release coming May 2022!
Hi all, It’s been a while, and I think it’s safe to say it’s been an eventful few years for all of us. Just like everyone else, I’ve primarily been trying to live through this pandemic and ensure my loved ones are safe and well. For the last year (or two), many of you have emailed me about book 5 in The Fractured Series, Redemption. My initial aim was to get this released by the end of 2021, but I personally felt it wasn’t feasible, hence why I’ve never published a release date. It wasn’t fair to put myself in the position whereby I felt I had to get something…

Paperbacks…at last! And a few other things to note…
Hi all! I’m esctastic to announce that the full series (including the novella) are finally available to purchase in paperback format! I’ve been promising this for a while and now it’s finally come to fruition. I must say, it’s very weird to hold ‘my writing’, but I’m also very proud. The books produced via Amazon look absolutely amazing and I’m incredibly happy with them… Even if Faithless is a bit of door stop – I never realised 600 pages was so big! So a few things, please note if you are interested in purchasing paperback copies, they will not be available outside of Amazon, and they will not be included…
Bye Bye Free, Hello KU!
Last year, I made my series available through Kindle Unlimited for the first time ever. During that time, Fractured, the first book of the series, was still available as a free download, as it is a tried and tested marketing method that works. Upon further reflection, I realise how unfair this was to readers using other sales platforms to purchase their books, and not being able to purchase the rest of the series from their preferred vendor. With this in mind, I have made the decision to delist it from the last remaining vendor outside of Amazon, thus removing the automatic free price matching. Therefore, book one is now priced…

IT by Stephen King
Modern Horror Firstly, yes, I am one of those people who likes to scare themselves stupid with horror films. From the sophisticated to the downright ridiculous, I’ve seen them all, and I’m not ashamed to admit it! So, this book needs no introduction whatsoever. It is a modern horror classic, and just the mention of the title will bring most out in a cold sweat. This book is one of the most memorable of my childhood – yes, my mother is fairly liberal and allowed me to read this stuff when I was young (thanks for getting me hooked on reading and writing, Mum! (Big kisses and thumbs up!!!)). By…
