Elise writes fantasy for fun, reads fantasy for research, and occasionally fantasizes about how many friends she’d have if she got out of the house more. Roots of Blood is her debut novel in the Nymph Keepers trilogy. She graduated from The Writer’s Studio Online at Simon Fraser University, where she also spent two years as a TA for the inimitable Eileen Cook. When she’s not writing, she works as a freelance editor and co-hosts The Tea Grannies Writing Podcast. She lives in British Columbia, Canada with her husband and their eight computers. ...more

If I'm having trouble writing, I don't chalk it up to the mythical block; it usually means something in the story isn't working, or something in my life is distracting me. Once I identify what that something is, I can work toward fixing it or lessening its impact. Writer's block, to me, is too convenient of an excuse to procrastinate putting my butt in the chair and getting the words down.(less)

“Because introverts are typically good listeners and, at least, have the appearance of calmness, we are attractive to emotionally needy people. Introverts, gratified that other people are initiating with them, can easily get caught in these exhausting and unsatisfying relationships.”
Adam S. McHugh

Joseph O'Connor
“Any assemblage comprising human beings, any family, any party, any tribe, any nation, will bind itself together not by what it shares but ultimately by what it fears, which is often so much greater. Perhaps it abhors the outsider as camouflage for its own alarms; dreading what it would do to itself were the binding to fall asunder.”
Joseph O'Connor, Star of the Sea
