About J.M. Elliott

J.M. Elliott prefers hiking boots to heels, work gloves to a manicure, and unvarnished storytelling to fancy prose. With over 20 years of experience as a professional horse trainer, she focuses on rehabbing mistreated horses on her farm in the Hudson Valley while also working as a communications director for a nonprofit. When she's not writing or riding, you can find her exploring archaeological sites, dabbling in oil painting, taking care of her bees and organic garden, and practicing traditional archery. Her stories tackle complex themes with an authentic touch, influenced by her deep love for nature. Through her tales of obscure histories, untamed cultures, and wild landscapes, J. M. Elliott celebrates the freedom of expression and the raw beauty of human experience.
