About Me

Elissa J. Hoole: I am Elissa--a YA writer, a teacher, a mama, a wallflower, a word-eater, a poet, a terrible cook. I'm represented by Sarah Davies of Greenhouse Literary Agency, and my debut for teens, KISS THE MORNING STAR, will be published by Marshall Cavendish in Spring 2012, a fact that still pretty much makes me weak in the knees!

KISS THE MORNING STAR: someday you can read it!
