Elise Gilmore writes sweet, swoony stories in the romance genre. She has had her work published by Micromance Magazine, Spark Flash Fiction, Havok, and Quill and Flame Publishing. Besides flash fiction and short stories, she is currently working on her first novel inspired by the summers she spent working at a camp on a barrier island off the Carolina coast.

She lives in South Carolina with her husband of almost fifteen years and their two boys. When she isn't writing, you might find her homeschooling her kiddos, reading a good book, drinking tea or kombucha, obsessing about Pride and Prejudice, playing worship songs on the piano, or dancing around the house.

Elise’s short story “Truffles and Truth” appears in Recipes for Romance: A Sweet Valentine’s Day Anthology (2025) and is available as an extended edition from Attic Ebooks. Follow Elise on Instagram @lifebwthepages.
