Elaine Wolf

Known as "the anti-bullying novelist," I write about what really goes on behind the closed gates and doors of our camps and schools. The issues I explore in CAMP and DANNY'S MOM are those I am passionate about and know well.

I was a camper and camp counselor for many summers. When I entered "the real world," I taught in public schools in California and New York -- and then I became a district language arts chairperson. One of my greatest joys was getting wonderful books into the hands of students, teachers, and parents. In the time before Kindles, iPads, and Nooks, I spent countless hours stocking shelves with "good reads." Now I'm thrilled that my novels, CAMP and DANNY'S MOM, are on those shelves (and on e-readers, too, of course).

My husband and I raised our children on Long Island, where in addition to teaching I was a co-facilitator of an adult writers' workshop. Then we moved to Northampton, Massachusetts, a community brimming with readers, writers, artists, and musicians. Shortly after moving there, I won a prize for short fiction (the perfect welcome for me). And now we live in Los Angeles, California. The great adventure continues!
