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 (?)

“The problem with me is that I’m a wild stallion. Can’t no man tame me,”

“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.”
― E.L. Westbury, Drowning in Paper Flowers
