Elke Lopez believes it is never too late to dream big and work with what you have to achieve it. Her love for writing dates back to her high school years, as she found joy and comfort even with something as simple as her journal entries. Being Latina, raised by a single mom and growing up in a tough neighborhood, she had to fight through obstacles that may have veered her away from her ultimate goal. The goal of becoming an author! Today Elke shares that love with her husband and three sons in central New Jersey. She hopes her debut book will inspire others to seek creativity and knowledge while having fun in the process. But above all, she wants us all to remind our loved ones, family, friends and even our fur-babies, how much they mean to us, how much we love them.
