edit data

E.L. Westbury is a wife, mother of five (three humans and two fur babies), and vanilla latte lover. After years of scribbling ideas for a novel on coffeehouse napkins and figuring out a hundred different ways to describe a single smile, she eventually sat down and poured her heart into her first manuscript.

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

“It was just a year ago that I attended a self-help seminar to help me manage what my therapist labeled severe anxiety with a splash of panic disorder. I remember being tickled at the way she’d diagnosed me—like one of those designer drinks that a bartender whips up with an umbrella on top. That’s me—a fancy concoction of fucked up.”
― E.L. Westbury, Drowning in Paper Flowers
