Elaine also writes plays and novellas, including the one-act play, Common Ground published in 2015. Her novella, Falling into Place, tells the story of a family facing the results of an Iowa father’s World War II experience; they do so with humor and grace. Another novella, Biding Time, was one of five finalists in the National Press Club's first fiction contest, in 1993. She is especially proud of In the Shadow of Light, which features two ten-year old girls in different circumstances, both affected by the U.S. policy of separating parents and children at the U.S.-Mexico border. Gentle fiction about a difficult topic.
