Elaine lives in the small village of Eaglesham in the Southside of Glasgow with her husband Craig, and their three children, Emily, Christopher and Rebecca. She loves spending time with her family and friends, reading, completing jigsaws and going for long walks. While doing the jigsaws she came up with the idea of using them as a basis for her stories about a trio of children who travel to different countries to solve mysteries.Elaine wrote her first book on South Africa after a fantastic holiday there. She used the places she travelled to within South Africa as the foundation for the adventures for Ems, Rich and Becks.She loves nothing more than planning itineraries for holidays and visiting new and exciting places. Elaine loves to experience and see the tourist hotspots, go on beautiful walks and immerse herself in the culture and vibrancy of different areas in Scotland, the United Kingdom and the wider world.
