Elle Nestico

I am a devoted wife and mom, a ride-or-die girl’s girl who champions women, craves adventure, chases big dreams with a sharp wit, and does my best to navigate it all with grace.

I have been writing my whole life and am a published author of Speculative Romance and Women’s Fiction. My stories are character-driven and relatable, while philosophizing about life, love, and the metaphysical.

A true millennial, my lighter wheelhouses are satire, pop-culture references, girls’ nights, travel, and espresso martinis. I am a lover of (almost) all music, though ’90s East Coast rap and 2000’s bangers are my dog-whistles.

But it’s my husband and kids (yes, even the teenagers) that get me through life. When I’m not nose deep in a good book or squirreled away in my office, you can find me carpool karaoke-ing with a plethora of mortified children in tow, cooking our Italian family faves - and rolling my eyes when the kids ask for Chick-fil-a instead, or snuggling on the couch, binging the latest show with my better half.

I love watching the pink North Carolina sunsets from my porch in the evenings, and not one day goes by that I miss the apocalyptic northern winters. But even in spite of its dreary cold and snow, hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I am a tried-and-true Steelers girl for life.
