Audra McElyea loves to write suspenseful stories that read like modern-day Alfred Hitchcock films. She’s a former corporate buyer, magazine writer, college head majorette, and personal trainer who has always loved to tell a story—whether it be through the movies she wrote and made her friends act out growing up, the secret songs she penned and never showed a soul, or the choreography she created for numerous dance and baton-twirling teams.

Audra has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Tennessee in consumer services management. She currently lives in Tennessee with her husband, two boys, and their dog and cat. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, exercising, and listening to Taylor Swift songs over and over.
