Elysia (uh-LEE-sha) writes about seas, valleys, and mountains both real and imagined. She loves a good coming-of-age story, especially if it tackles the big things in life: family, purpose, and finding our footing in a messy, beautiful world. ​

 

Elysia lives in Almonte, Ontario with her husband, two sons, and dog. She has a weakness for London fogs, Christmas morning, and a salty ocean breeze.

 

Elysia is the founder of the Almonte Writers Guild.​ She sits on the board of Almonte Readers & Writers, a local non-profit dedicated to presenting literary events and programs within Lanark County.

 

She is represented by Rachel Ekstrom Courage at Courage Literary.
