Writing has always been a part of Elliot's life. He began writing seriously when he was 7 for his elementary school's newspaper (he wrote the short story column). After this, they never quite put back down the proverbial pen. Now, Elliot is proud to be a professional game designer and author who gets to share his writing with the world.

​

​When Elliot isn't writing, they enjoy drinking tea, playing games, practicing his dozens of arts and crafts, and sending their friends photos of animals in hats. He lives in the Southern USA with his husband and their three cats (Ciri, Jaskier, and Moth).
