Hello, I’m Elisa.
I’m a best-selling novelist of second-chance love stories, romantic comedy and dramedy, and all things GenX. I’m also a lifelong Duran Duran fan. That, combined with my GenX spirit, was the inspiration for my Substack publication Dancing When the Bomb Drops. (See below.)

What is Dancing When the Bomb Drops?
Inspired by Duran Duran’s iconic quote, I write about navigating marriage (or, in my case, marital separation) and midlife during these turbulent times through the lens of a Duran Duran fan.
The goal: Connect to and with my fellow GenXers and Duranies, (re)align with joy, and forge a new path.
What you’ll get: A blend of heartfelt essays, nostalgic reflections, and love stories that inspire you to keep dancing when the bombs of life drop.
And, of course, the Fab Five.
Here’s the inaugural post:
Delivered to your door!
Never miss an update—every new post is sent directly to your email inbox. The publication is free. A paid subscription, however, supports people like me who love what we do, and helps us to keep doing it—because we (I, especially!) love to serve you.
During these lean times, I’ve made the paid option affordable—an annual subscription matches the price of one hardcover book!
