When she isn't writing, she's begging her husband to watch The Notebook with her for the hundredth time, laughing while learning the latest Gen Z lingo from her kids, or curled up on the couch covered in dog kisses. She resides in Texas and often escapes to Colorado, finding peace in wildflowers, red wine and the mountains. ...more

Quotes by E.L. Westbury (?)

“That’s what mothers do. They take on the burdens of life quietly so that their children can thrive.”
― E.L. Westbury, Drowning in Paper Flowers

“Boys will be boys.’ I actually despise that saying. It insinuates that Jet’s behavior is excusable because of his gender. Boys are expected to be rough, hardened, insensitive. That’s the exact mentality that allows boys to grow into men who lack a moral compass.”
― E.L. Westbury, Drowning in Paper Flowers

“Don’t get me wrong, I love that the school hosts creative theme days to keep the kids involved, but between Red Ribbon Week, spirit week, favorite book character day, wacky hair day, favorite super-hero day, one hundredth day of school, and repeated pajama days (having to purchase new pajamas that fit and are cool, versus the T-shirt and underwear my kids actually sleep in)—it all gets to be a tad overwhelming.”
