Elaine Drennon Little

Adopted at birth, Elaine lived her first twenty years on her parents' agricultural farm in rural southern Georgia. She was a public school music teacher for twenty–seven years, and continued to dabble with sideline interests in spite of her paid profession. Playing in her first band at age fourteen, she seemed to almost always be involved in at least one band or another. Elaine's writing began in high school, publishing in local newspapers, then educational journals, then later in online fiction journals. In 2008 she enrolled in the MFA program at Spalding University in Louisville, where upon graduation finished her second novel manuscript. Recently retiring after eleven years as a high school chorus and drama director, Elaine now lives in north Georgia with her husband, an ever–growing library of used books, and many adopted animals.
