Audra McElyea loves to write suspenseful stories that read like an Alfred Hitchcock film. She’s a former corporate buyer, magazine contributor, University of Tennessee 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 wrote and never showed a soul, or through the choreography she wrote for numerous dance and baton twirling teams.

Audra has a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Tennessee in Consumer Services Management. She currently lives in Tennessee with her husband, two boys, and their two dogs.
