Profile Information

Hometown:
upstate South Carolina
About Me and My Book:
Coming soon - the Junior Geography Detective Squad series - a 50-states mystery series wherein the reader has to figure out what state they are visiting from clues and facts.

Elysabeth Eldering is 45 years old and lives in a small town in upper South Carolina. She enjoys reading, cross stitch, crochet and writing. Her first story was written on a dare from a friend, but she found that she really enjoyed the creative outlet.

Her writing credits include "Train of Clues" (a shared second place winner on Armchair Interviews and the story that led to the above series), "The Proposal" (an April Fool's Day contest shared second place winner on Armchair Interviews), and "The Tulip Kiss" (fast and frigid contest winner on Echelon Press) and "Butterfly Halves", a young adult fantasy, (the latter two were published by Echelon Press but are no longer available). Her most recent story, "Bride-and-Seek", was accepted and published in the SCWW anthology The Petigru Review and is available on amazon.com. She has an article on editing and self publishing to her credit, also published on Armchair Interviews.

Elysabeth was asked to create and edit a storyline for the Magazine of Unbelievable Stories (now defunct) with past issues still available through amazon.com. She has edited four novels and is in the process of starting her own editing service.

In 2007, Elysabeth volunteered to judge mid length stories submitted for the Derringers Awards.

Mother of 3 children, she spends many weekends at marching band competitions. When she has free time from work, family and writing, she participates in several writing groups including Sisters in Crime and the South Carolina Writers Workshop, both in Greenville, SC.

Book 1 of the JGDS, 50-state, mystery, trivia series - State of Wilderness

The clues represented on Book 1 are Sacajawea (need to know a little bit of history and background for this one), Appaloosa horse and birds of prey wildlife area (actually need a bit more information about this to know that it is the second largest only to Alaska). Do you think you know the state?

Good Times and Bad Times - a SC Book Festival review

Book festivals are fun - you get to meet new authors and some more familiar ones alike. You get to renew friendships and acquaintances from other areas of the writing life. I was a volunteer at the SC Book Festival for the fourth year in a row. I had a blast, save my horror story. So long story but overall, the book festival was another success. (This is posted in two parts on my regular blog - http://elysabethsstories.blogspot.com) The SC Book Festival was this past weekend and as you can see… Continue

I have read a lot on the self publishing and many of them are goin with POD. I was surprised that the manager at the bookstore said they worked with some of the self publishing companies that were said in this book that were not ood.

I looked at what 4RV is looking for and my book would fall under their guideline, so I will contact them. Thanks for the info. I am lucky that I have an illustrator that lives in my town and I was able to help from inception build the characters. I even designed the main character and helped with coloring. My layout person is here in town also and does the layout on books for other people. Many expenses with making a book and some that could have been avoided if I had done my homework.

I wish I could see the inside as well. But maybe one day it will be published and I will see the inside. Who did your illustrations? Because most publishers use their own illustrators and most books don't even get sent to a publisher illustrated but hey, you are one step ahead of the game. Good luck. E :)

Wish you could see the rest of it. The pictures are so cute. I have 36 pages and the pictures are all in pdf format with bleed still on them so when it is sent to the PH, they will be able to cut off the bleed. Sending them would crash your computer!!!! I keep on hitting the wrong comment button, and it comes back to me. Go figure.

I did the only thing I knew how to do. The book cover is under the heading "Lady Flatterley". I know I should make a blog just for that book. My son who is a computer geek is going to try and teach me how to make blogs over the phone this weekend so I can go ahead and try and make one. I really need to change the other one because of the coloring alone. Some people have said it is difficult to read so I need to change to a different template. If you go to the side and find Lady Flatterley, and click on it, the book cover will come up, or click on children's books on top then click on Lady Flatterley You mentioned about making a direct link to the page. That is one of the things that I hope my son will be able to teach me. He was one the one that built my blog. I'm just a nurse that needs to learn all the tricks of this trade. I'm tired of feeling helpless. It's time to learn.

Thank you for your quick reply. I will check out www.myscww.org. My book is at The Open Book in the section New Age. My book is not classified as a "literary classic" because of its contents. However, it will be nice meeting other authors in this area, something I have yet to do. I am sure we will meet.

Hi Elysabeth! I, too, am living in the upstate, in Greenville. This site is new to me and I posted my profile just yesterday. I love your idea of the Junior Geography Detective Squad Series,. It certainly will help people (children and adults alike) connect to all geographical areas in the U.S. by having a deeper understanding of those areas. The best to you.

Hi Elysabeth. That's a great spelling for your name too. Yes, mine is pronounced "Diane." Thank you for the friendship. :-)
