I'm author ELLE STRAUSS and welcome to my website!

I write fun, lower Young Adult (teen) fiction to do with whimsical things like time-travel, fairies and merfolk.

When my serious side peeks out, she's called LEE STRAUSS. She likes to write upper YA about real things that have happened in the past, or made up things that could quite possibly happen in the future.

This blog is about books, mine and other fab authors', but occasionally I'll share about other topics.

Thanks for dropping by!

DRAGONFLY - new series by LEIGH T MOORE, Coming Soon!


Leigh T. Moore has a new series coming soon!

Here's a teaser.

Looks fantastic!





Seeing him there, leaning against the car...
All I wanted was to go to him. I wanted to smooth the messy bangs from his eyes. I wanted him to kiss me.
"Ugh," I quietly growled, banging my forehead lightly against the wall. "What is wrong with me?"
I took a deep breath, put on a confident face, and went through the glass doors. "What are you doing here?"
That smile crossed his lips, and I hated the way my body responded to him.
It wasn't fair.



DRAGONFLY, coming June 6

The final episode of Love, Tink is here - FAIRY MADNESS!


The final episode of Love, Tink is here - FAIRY MADNESS!




In the final episode of the Love, Tink series, Tinkerbell must face the consequences of her crimes and become the next queen of the fairy kingdom in order to send all the humans out of Neverland for good. She doesn’t love the king, but it’s her punishment to bear.

Turns out Peter doesn’t see it that way. And he’s not the only one.


On Amazon and Kobo

It was so much fun writing this one episode at a time, and I'm really excited to finish it and to see the story in its complete form. It's a bit of a risk to release a story an episode at a time before the whole thing is written, but it really challenged me as a writer and story teller, and I think it turned out great! I hope you like it, too. :)
