Long bio: Elle Jauffret is a French-born American attorney and the author of novels and short stories—some of which were featured at literary workshops (at the National Children’s Museum, Kids Euro Festival, and local schools). She holds Juris Doctorates from Université Côte d’Azur Law School (France) and the George Washington University Law School (USA) where she was inducted in Phi Delta Phi, the International Legal Honor Society. Her diverse work experience (lifeguard, teacher, translator, medical writer, and criminal attorney for the California Attorney General's office) has influenced and informed her writing. She chaired the Pediatric Literacy Program at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (the U.S. Presidents’ hospital) and believes "literacy is a fundamental human right and the foundation for lifelong learning” (UNESCO). In her spare time, she creates fiction food, works out in the Metaverse, and volunteers in her community. She is an active SCBWI and HWA member and lives in California with her husband and children.
