More Details

     Elora grew up outside Toronto, Canada in a township filled with open skies and rolling fields for her imagination to run wild. She was drawn to stories from a young age with Black Beauty being her first beloved story.

     She sought a career in film on both sides of the camera before switching back to the written word in her early twenties. Prior to the switch, she had the pleasure of working on shows for Scott Brothers Entertainment and Shaftesbury Films and trained at renowned acting schools like RADA and LAMDA in London, England during their summer programs.  

     She attended Toronto Metropolitan University, completing her BA in Creative Industries, while spending many hours writing her stories for the pursuit of traditional publication. Finally, in 2023, she sold her debut YA novel to a renowned publisher which released March 18th, 2025.

     Elora now lives full-time in St. John's, Newfoundland after falling for a kind-hearted Newfie who is her real-life book boyfriend. When she's not writing or got her nose in a book, she's cooking new dishes, attending trivia events, and spending time with friends.
