Elaine Stock writes historical fiction and domestic suspense novels. While her novels continue to appear on several Amazon Bestseller Lists, what pleases her the most is hearing from readers around the world who say these stories inspire them to face their own tomorrows. Elaine and her husband are owned by two cats, who sometimes allow them to go on long walks down country roads and explore New England towns.
