She now lives in Philadelphia with her husband and rescue dog, Calypso, the first of many pets named for Greek mythology characters. Elle enjoys hiking, rock climbing, and attempting ambitious cocktail recipes. She writes under a not-so-secret pseudonym to maintain separation from her day job as a doctor.
MFOB featured book: Wedding Issues
Competition for a Southern bridal magazine cover unleashes mayhem, forcing a mastermind maid of honor to stop being a people pleaser and start figuring out what she wants out of life. Wedding Issues is a hilarious, smart coming-of-age story.
Olivia “Liv” Fitzgerald’s life is on ambition autopilot. The soon-to-be-lawyer has her life plan set and can talk anyone into anything. Well, almost anything. When her scheming aunt throws her cousin, Kali, into a competition for Southern Charm’s cover alongside Liv’s best friend, Leighton, all hell breaks loose. To save the day, Liv only has to:
1. Secure the Southern Charm cover for Leighton. 2. Keep Aunt Charlotte happy—and keep Kali’s Atlanta wedding running smoothly. 3. Finish her final year of law school in Nashville and nab a coveted big law job in New York City. 4. Win over the guy of her dreams
Easy, right? From engagement parties to rehearsal dinners, readers will root for Liv as she balances her schemes, dreams, and double maid-of-honor duties.
