I'm author ELLE STRAUSS and welcome to my website!

I write fun, lower Young Adult (teen) fiction to do with whimsical things like time-travel, fairies and merfolk.

When my serious side peeks out, she's called LEE STRAUSS. She likes to write upper YA about real things that have happened in the past, or made up things that could quite possibly happen in the future.

This blog is about books, mine and other fab authors', but occasionally I'll share about other topics.

Thanks for dropping by!

Tuesday News

I'm leaving--on a jet plane--don't know when I'll be back again....

Okay, that's not true. I do know when I'm leaving and when I'm coming back, tomorrow to Sunday, but I am flying across the vast country of Canada, from Vancouver, BC to Saint John, New Brunswick and it's going to take. All. Day.

It's my eldest son's University graduation and my husband and my/mine 25th Wedding anniversary. Plus, we just happen to be going to the very region where my merfolk book, SEAWEED, is set, so also a little research may take place. Just saying.

My middle two boys came home from working up north, and so, yes, it's busy at the Strauss house, but in a good way.

And, I'm happy to announce that when I get back, on Monday, April 23, CLOCKWISE is going back on tour.


You don't want to miss out on this one because I'm giving away an Indelible book at each stop (and there's several a day), with a grand prize at the end consisting of all the books offered on the tour!

So, stay tuned for more details.
