Author spotlight: Ella McLaughlin

In the lead-up to ARR2024 in March 2024 we will be spotlighting the authors who will be signing. In the spotlight today we have Ella McLaughlin . Ella will be signing in Brisbane.
Who was the first romance author to catch your interest?
Danielle Steel. I was hooked by her novel called The Ring . Set in Europe, it captivated me as I rode the red rattler to the big smoke for my very first job. Packed with an array of heart-wrenching emotions, this book had the power to truly open my eyes to a whole new world: reading romance.
How long have you been reading romance?
It feels like a lifetime ago, but it was almost forty years ago that I rode that train at the age of sixteen. Eeks.
What genres do you write?
Contemporary romance
What is your favourite part of creating a story?
It’s hands down when the characters become alive. It’s a very exciting time when you get inside them and feel you really know them, and they become real.
Tell us about your latest release:
I have two recent releases under my Boomerang Beach series. Boomerang Beach is the story about the staff who live onsite at the rear of the resort. It’s a friend-to-lovers, fake dates, triangle romance. Cocktails and Sunsets is a second-chance romance novella with a twist.
What else are you working on at the moment?
I am currently working on a new addition to the series. An enemy-to-lovers, close-proximity romance, Jinxed into Love . It should be released mid-year.
