You could say Elle Charles' first loves were reading and story-telling. Elle wrote her first novel at age eleven as a way to escape a very tedious homeschool life in the suburbs of South Carolina. She's been inspired by authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, loves Paranormal TV shows, and is an avid coffee drinker. She knows that a good book will stir feelings in the reader, whether it be to scare you or make you fall in love with its characters, and hopes to do so with her books.
