Romance is not only an immense pleasure for Elaine, but a lifesaver. After long days of heartbreak at her day job helping the poor of the Third World, she needs to escape into fantasy worlds where love makes everything right. She adores swashbuckling heroes who can enjoy a good joke like Indiana Jones, Captain Kirk, and Rhett Butler, thus it's not surprising that the majority of her books contain a lot of adventure, excitement, romance, and comedy.

Elaine's life is richly blessed with five children, one grandchild, a lot of family and many friends. A Buckeye transplanted in South Florida, she considers both Cincinnati and Florida home. She earned her BSBA in Accounting from the University of Southern Mississippi and her MBA from Nova University and has held a variety of jobs including computer maintenance technician for the Air Force, an accountant/cost-pricing analyst, and now novelist. She is also one of the co-managers of Word Museum, a multi-genre writing and reading online community. She invites you to visit her cyber homes at: http://www.writerpages.com/elainehopper/index.htm, http://www.elainehopper.com , and http://www.wordmuseum.com.
