Mitchell S. Elrick is a middle school English teacher living in the Denver, Colorado area with his wife and son. When he isn't teaching, he's reading, writing, or making up wildly mediocre songs that somewhat entertain his son and fully annoy his wife. With the happy family lives a cuddly cat and a lunatic guised as a black lab. It has been confirmed the cat and the dog aren't fans of the songs, either.

Mitchell’s short story “Polka Dots” appears in Another Chance to Get It Right: A New Year’s Eve Anthology (2024) and is available as an extended edition from Attic Ebooks, “MJ’s Jersey” appears in Recipes for Romance: A Sweet Valentine’s Day Anthology (2025) and is available as an extended edition from Attic Ebooks, “Lewis” is published in Attic Ebooks (2025), and “Millennial Magic” appears in Just One . . . : A Summer Romance Anthology (2025).
