Delly M Elrose writes at the intersection of heart and suspense, crafting stories that span lesbian love, crime thrillers, historical drama, and the occasional twist of counterfactual history, with a self‑help book or two slipped in for good measure. She lives by the sea in Cumbria, England, where the shifting tides and wild coastal skies feed an imagination that never stops spinning new ideas.
Her favourite of her own books is Salt in the Silk, think Titanic, but lesbian. Aboard the RMS Victoria's Grace, two women from opposite worlds collide: one born into ivory and etiquette, the other into soot and survival. It's the kind of story that stays with you long after the last page, and it captures everything Delly loves to write: forbidden connection, high stakes, and characters who feel utterly real.
She gets ideas down fast, sometimes too fast and there's always another manuscript waiting in the wings. When she's not lost in a new story, you'll find her walking the shore, exploring winding country roads, or taking off on spontaneous road trips to nowhere in particular. She's an avid football fan, loves everything from country and soul to indie and rock, and finds solace in the rain, laughter with her cheeky pet bird, and the quiet rhythm of life by the sea.
For Delly, the magic is in the details: a slow cup of tea, a song that feels like an old friend, or the thrill of a new idea taking flight on the page. She believes stories, like the tides, offer comfort, connection, and a reminder that beauty often lies just beneath the surface and she's here to share as many of them as she can.
