Elyse Mady is the author of "Something So Right", "Learning Curves" and "The Debutante's Dilemma", all with Carina Press. Upcoming books include "The White Swan Affair" (2012). She blogs at www.elysemady.com. You can also find her on Twitter at @elysemady, Facebook and Goodreads.

In addition to her writing commitments, Elyse also teaches film and literature at a local community college. In her free time she enjoys (well, enjoys might be too strong a word - perhaps pursues with dogged determination would be better) never ending renovations on their century home with her intrepid husband and two boys.

With her excellent writerly imagination, she one day dreams of topping the NY Times Bestseller's List and reclaiming her pre-kid body without the bother of either sit-ups or the denunciation of ice-cream
