Hey, y'all! If you're looking for my books but don't see them here, check out the "Elysia Strife" page here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

My pen name is Elysia Lumen Strife, but I shorten it to Elysia Strife for sweet romance and use EL Strife for my scifi. (A mistake I made in the early stages of indie authorship) I had no idea I was going to keep publishing or end up with so many books!

Anyway, my apologies for any confusion!

All my best,
Elysia/E L
