Every book begins
with a feeling.

Some stories begin with a mystery. Others begin with a memory that refuses to fade.

Elliot Vane is an author drawn to the extraordinary stories hidden within ordinary lives. From the friendships that define our younger years to the places we carry with us long after leaving them behind, his writing explores nostalgia, human connection, secrets and the moments that shape who we become.

An enthusiastic reader, Elliot particularly enjoys the psychological suspense of Sarah A. Denzil and the honesty of autobiographies. He is fascinated by real experiences, complicated characters and the way a single event can change the direction of someone's life.

His novel The Summer We Wore Blue captures the laughter, chaos, friendships and unexpected emotions of a British seaside holiday camp in 2002. Inspired by the atmosphere of a place that meant so much to generations of holidaymakers, it takes readers behind the bright lights and into the lives of the people who made those holidays unforgettable.

For Elliot, storytelling is about more than reaching the final page. It's about recognising something of ourselves in the characters, remembering places we thought we'd forgotten and discovering that even the smallest moments can leave the deepest impressions.

Because the best stories don't simply end. They stay with us.
