Elle Sweet is the pen name of mystery author Laina Turner. I started writing ten years ago, and it was always my intent and desire to write romance. However, in my first book, someone died. It just happened and turned the romance into a mystery. Twenty-some books later, and I decided enough was enough. I was going to do what I'd initially set out to do at the start of my writing journey. Write a book where no one died (It's not as easy as you think). I can't tell you how much fun I had writing Finding Rachel and the three others set in the small town of Moonshire Bay. Finding Rachel is out now and Ari's Adventure will release in spring of 2020 with the third book set to follow in the early summer of 2020. How did I come up with my pen name? Elle for the "L" in Laina and Sweet was my grandfather's last name. I wanted something that had a story. I originally wanted to call myself LuluBell after a pet cow I once had, but the family shot that one down. Born and raised in the midwest, I live in Indiana with my husband, three amazing children, and our dogs Duke and Macy. Find me on www.lainaturner.com
