ⓘ About Elaine Manders
Elaine Manders is a bestselling historical romance novelist who writes works that intrigue and inspire readers. The author was born in rural South Georgia in a very small one-street town that was characterized by strong family ties, Christian values, and community spirit. After graduating from college, she started work at a huge AF base, where she was a government accountant. During this time, she also got married but would later divorce. Her later life would become very busy as she was a single mother trying to move up the ranks of a corporate career. While she had always had stories running through her mind, it never occurred to her to write down anything. It was when her mother died and her daughter got admitted to college that she got to a turning point.
