Elle J Rossi grew up in rural Indiana surrounded by great people, a huge family and more animals than she could count. But the sites and sounds of the world beckoned, so she left her small town to escape into a creative world full of music. As a full time singer she was able to lose herself in a thousand different songs in a hundred different places. After meeting the love of her life and settling down, she yearned to find a new and fulfilling creative outlet. Overly fond of the happily ever after, she wondered what it would be like to have her own characters lead her down dark and twisted paths. The very first word on the very first page sealed her fate. She’d found a new love. She’d found her escape. Now along with weaving haunting tales about the journey to love, she’s creating cover art for authors around the world and loving every second of it. For fun, she cranks country music to take her back to her roots, and sings karaoke anytime she gets a chance. Her husband, two children, and a cat that rules the roost keep her company along the way and guarantee she doesn’t get lost in the enchanted forest. She wouldn’t have it any other way.

Greenhorn fantasy, sci-fi, and thriller writer. Iatrophobia out in the Never Fear-Phobias anthology on Oct. 1.
I grew up in the boonies of Pennsylvania. I was a single child and I spent many nights growing up reading all kinds of fantasy/sci-fi books. When I got older I was introduced to Dungeons&Dragons and began expressing my creative tendencies by running games for my friends. Spending hours after school making my own worlds and tales for my friends to experience. Reading, writing and gaming are passions of mine, and I am blessed to be able to share them with so many people.
