Spencer, Elle: - Elle Spencer (http: //ellespencerbooks.com) is the author of several best-selling lesbian romances, including Casting Lacey, a Goldie finalist. She is a hopeless romantic and firm believer in true love, although she knows the path to happily ever after is rarely an easy one-not for her and not for her characters. When she's not writing, Elle loves working on home improvement projects, hiking up tall mountains (not really, but it sounds cool), floating in the pool with a good book, and spending quality time with her pillow in a never-ending quest to prove that napping is the new working. Elle grew up in Denver, and she and her wife now live in Southern California.
