How Did Elle Couper Happen?

I've always loved writing short stories. When I was in high school, I used to spend my maths class writing short stories under the table (usually while pretending to pay attention to my teacher). I would write horror short stories, comedy short stories, paranormal short stories, romance short stories.

I started my published life with novellas as Lexxie Couper, and eventually my word length grew. But a part of me missed writing short stories.

I’ve been drawn to the Instalove trope forever. I love the notion of two people meeting each other for the first time and BAM, knowing instantly they've found each other and nothing will ever be the same again.

Soo....imagine how excited I was when I discovered novelettes and One Hour Reads Romances on Amazon. And imagine how much more excited I was when I discovered they are all about the instalove!!

And that, my awesome readers, is how Elle Couper was born.

Hi there.

  • This is a tricky one. But I'm going to go with The Proposal. Definitely not instalove, I know, but the chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock is amazing. And I utterly love love love their romance.

  • "100 bad days means 100 good stories." (Thanks, AJR for this. If I wasn't terrified of needles, I'd get it tattooed on my wrist)

  • I have two. David Tennant, and Colin Firth. sigh Colin Firth...
