Elaine Burkett is a published American author.

She resides in Utah and is married and lives with her husband. They have four children who now are all adults and they live close to them.

Her favorite thing to do as a hobby is writing. This is followed up by reading, cooking, and playing video games. When she is writing, the author frequently finds her inspiration through thinking about the type of book that she would like to read. The works she has done are usually low angst and fairly short, which in her opinion makes them ‘perfect’ for reading after a long and stressful day.

The author grew up in North Carolina but moved to Utah just a few years after she got married. Some writers say that they have felt the call to write or create for their whole lives, or write their first story when they are young or before graduating high school. She doesn’t identify with this and even considered herself lacking creativity for most of her life. She knew she could take an idea and improve it, but considered that more engineering than being creative.

Elaine thought of herself more as a math and science type of girl, looking at the world in black and white. Even though she had preferences for the scientific life, the author notes that she has always been an avid reader and always studied human behavior. She notes Pride and Prejudice as being one of her favorite books, ever since she read it in her early teen years. Her youngest child’s middle name is even Elizabeth and she also appreciates the Lord of the Rings series and the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov.

The author says that once she gets her newsletter and her blog going, she will put in more details of her life journey as well as how she became a writer and why. She does relate that the story is too long for this introduction. Her world view and understanding of herself shifted in 2012 when she became chronically ill.

Elaine describes her writing as being ‘deliberately low angst and frequently ‘low in drama’. It’s for people who enjoy reading but do not want the stress or emotional intensity that drama and angst brings, even more so when it is pointless. She instead focuses on character and relationship development. As an author, she says that her goal is to provide ‘low-stress’ entertainment so that she can help with her readers as they relax from life being so difficult.

She continues to grow both in maturity and wisdom through these years, doing what she can to help her younger sisters to grow up and to raise them to be young ladies who are elegant but strong too.

Around four years later, Mr. Bingley comes to the neighborhood along with his party. The man easily falls for Miss Bennet right away, a young woman who is gentle and kind. However, the lady is not as taken with him. Instead of encouraging him, she ends up conspiring with his sister to try and get him to leave her alone.

Months later, Jane ends up going to London and taking her sister there for a couple of months. While she is there, she encounters Mr. Carruthers, one of her uncle’s business associates. She finds him charming and falls under his spell quickly. Then Elizabeth ends up encountering Mr. Darcy in Hyde Park– several times, not just once.
