About J. M. Elliott

J. M. Elliott lives on a Hudson Valley farm, far from the hustle of modern life. She prefers hiking boots to heels, work gloves to manicures, and humble stories to showy prose. When she's not lost in the pages of historical fiction, you might spot her astride a horse, unearthing the mysteries of archaeological sites, or trekking into the wilds where phone signals can't reach.

To Meet
All Things

I have another world in mind, which together in one heart bears its bittersweet, its dear sorrow; its heart's joy, its love's pain; its dear life, its sorrowful death; its dear death, its sorrowful life. To this life let my life be given, to this world let me be bound, to fall or prosper with it.

—Gottfried von Strassburg, “Tristan”
