Elise Ackers is the author of contemporary romance and romantic suspense novels. She grew up on the shores of the Great Barrier Reef and in the shadows of the Blue Mountains. She's a magnet for unusual accidents, a stubborn optimist and has been writing since she was young. Elise has travelled extensively around Europe, the UK, Southeast Asia, New Zealand and Australia, and each trip altered her irrevocably. Elise lives near Melbourne in a house full of colour and life. She describes her fur family as a 'comedy show.'
