Random Act Of Kindness - Elysabeth Eldering

Elysabeth Eldering is one of two people that I chose to honor for the Random Act Of Kindness BLITZ!  If you didn't get a chance to see the original post, click here.  My gift to Elysabeth was to do a blog post about her.

Elysabeth Eldering has been a traveler since birth.  Her father was a military man, so her childhood was spent living in such places as Germany, Japan, and many of the different United States.  These days, she calls South Carolina home, her mindset being that she is "Southern by choice, not by birth."

This busy mother of three is a full time medical transcriptionist.  She also participates in virtual classroom visits and can be found at home school and book events promoting her writing.

On a dare, Elysabeth entered her first writing contest in 2005 and took second place for Train of Clues, a children's mystery story.  She was then inspired to take that story and start writing a series for children, the premise being that each state would be the mystery.  Each book in the series concentrates on one state and there are supplemental study guides available, which take the series cross curriculum.  

This is the cover of one of the books in the Junior Geography Detective Squad (JGDS) series.  The books focus on middle grade geography of the different states.  The series, loosely based on the original Train of Clues story, follows four friends in their handheld game playing adventure.  The game gives the four friends clues and they need to guess which state is being described.

Some of Elysabeth Eldering's other award winning stories include: The Proposal, a humorous romance, which took 3rd place in Armchair Interviews April Fools Day contest; Butterfly Halves, a YA fantasy that was a runner up of Echelon Press's fast and fanciful contest; The Tulip Kiss, a paranormal romance that took 1st place in Echelon Press's fast and frigid contest; and Bride-and-Seek, a paranormal romance which was a selected story for SCWW's anthology, the Petigru Review.

I did a review of The Tulip Kiss back in March.  Click here to read the review.


I will be featuring other books and short stories by Elysabeth Eldering in the upcoming months.
