Elena L. Abbott is a demiromantic, transgender, lesbian who uses she/her pronouns. She’s been writing for over twenty years, slowly but surely getting better at her craft. She started self-publishing her novels in 2020, with two novels and a novella being released in the next couple years. In 2023, she partnered with Bold Strokes Books to release more books, starting with Pack of Her Own, and has been working with them ever since.
Her self-published novella, NEED, was originally published under the pen name Lily Hardt, but as of May 2024 she has retired that name and now publishes solely under her regular name.
Elena currently lives in Edmonton, Alberta, playing video games and watching cooking shows in the hopes that she can learn to cook purely through osmosis. Otherwise she’s writing more trans and lesbian stories and taking her characters and smacking them together like barbie dolls.
