Elaine Everest

Elaine is a former journalist, author of non-fiction books for dog owners, and a qualified creative writing tutor, and she’s written more than a hundred short stories for the women’s magazine market and features for national newspapers. Her books for dog owners have been incredibly popular and led to her broadcasting on the radio about our four legged pals. She has been heard discussing many topics on the radio from canine subjects to living with a husband under her feet while redundancy loomed.

The best place to start is the Woolworths series, the earliest of Elaine Everest's multi-book series: it opens with The Woolworths Girls (2016) and runs to 12 books across 2016–2025, ending with New Horizons for the Woolworths Girls (2025). Elaine Everest's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.
