About
WILL ELM lives in Maryland with his wife and two kids on the edge of a forest with plenty of trees that share his name. He compulsively listens to music, though not while writing or reading, and enjoys cycling and running. He can often be found at the local coffee shop drinking herbal teas with a book in hand, trying desperately not to be interrupted. Otherwise you can hear about what he's drinking, current reads, and various other musings on his blog, mastodon, or bluesky.Prior to writing, Will worked as a psychological researcher and obtained his doctorate in psychology. He infuses his understanding of human behavior and personality into his characters and his analytical mind into their pursuits.
