Prior to graduating from Bath Spa with an MA in Writing for Young People, Elaine was a teacher of English. She still works part-time, teaching students in both the UK and overseas and likes nothing better than seeing their satisfaction when they write their own stories. She was born in Ireland and spent much of her childhood between the two farms of her grandparents – places rich in country folklore which sparked her imagination. Elaine loves to read and write stories with humour and heart. She lives in Gloucestershire with her husband and two sons.
