Much of her work focuses on themes of family, memory, and finding hope after a devastating loss. Her fiction has appeared in Analog, Galaxy’s Edge, Escape Pod, Writers of the Future Vol 35, and FIYAH, among others. She is a Writers of the Future 1st place winner (2019). Elise lives with her family in Seattle in a house with huge windows to supply the vast quantities of light she requires to stay happy.
