About this author

Elle Lapraim is a Sci-fi and Fantasy author who lives in Portland, Oregon. She currently has several short stories available on the kindle and nook. Her first full-length Science fiction novel will be published during the middle of 2012.

Glad it made sense to you. I think I don't make sense to a lot of people so at least we are on the same side.
