Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have written seven books with more to come.
Elisa’s writing career began when she wrote a book about her trip to Italy. It was written in pencil on construction paper. She was in kindergarten.
In her Creative Writing classes, she received mostly high grades. The poem she wrote about her clarinet… didn’t. She learned that she is a perfectionist when it comes to punctuation, proper grammar and spelling.
Then life got busy and she forgot about writing. When life slowed down, the Writing Bug bit her. She’s been writing ever since. So much so that she has been known to request blank journals/composition books and pens for gifts.
She writes what the Lord gives her and publishes with His approval.
When not writing, she spends time with her own hero husband and her delightful Nebelung cat.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“REAL Conversations with God” – I’ve had some great, humorous and enlightening conversations with God that He said I could share… so, I share it!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Unusual for me? No. I pray a lot.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
So many! Debbie Macomber, Joyce Meyer, THE BIBLE, Max Lucado.
What are you working on now?
“Talk about Scriptures!” (a Holy Spirit commentary) – An easy-to-read, practical, user friendly, Bible companion series.
When I was learning more about the Holy Spirit, I wondered what His role was in creating the Bible. So, I asked Him. …. And He answered. And this book is what the Holy Spirit said. I discovered that He really enjoys talking about His word.
For more than 30 years, I’ve been listening to the Holy Spirit (Lord God). I started out hearing ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers and graduated to hearing Him all the time.
My philosophy is that God speaks to us all the time in different ways. For example: Have you ever wondered why God created the heavens and earth? The LORD replied: “Because I wanted to! Because I wanted a place for My people to learn, play, grow and commune with Me.”
