Elise Kova has always had a profound love of fantastical worlds. Somehow, she managed to focus on the real world long enough to graduate with a Master's in Business Administration before crawling back under her favorite writing blanket to conceptualize her next magic system. She currently lives in St. Petersburg, Florida, and when she is not writing can be found playing video games, watching anime, or talking with readers on social media.

I’m really excited to announce several new dates and times for a second (albeit smaller) Loom Tour! It was so much fun being on tour the first time and meeting readers across the U.S. that I absolutely cannot wait to do it again. This tour will hit four completely NEW cities that I have NEVER signed in before. What’s even better is that I’ll have two...

of
The Alchemists of Loom (Loom Saga, #1):
"UPDATE 1/10/17: IT'S RELEASE DAY, AHHHH!!! HAPPY RELEASE DAY, ELISE <<<3
The Alchemists of Loom is bloody, epic, and brimming with violence.  +  Fantasy fans, I give you: Arianna = older, clockwork version of Arya Stark from Game of Thrones..." Read more of this review » |

Thanks for adding me. I love your Air Awakens book 1 cover! ;)
Thanks for accepting my request, Ms.Kova.I love your Air Awakensseries.
Waiting for the last book!
Hi there. :) I've heard a lot about you! Thank you so much for accepting my friend request. ^_^

Keep writing, ..."You're so very right, Elise! What are you doing is the way how one makes people feel something. I have reading so many books, but only a few times I was in love with characters so much that I couldn't go on, I was crying with them, laughing, falling and rising. And I was thinking over their choices and feelings while I was reading another books. Your series is such a case. When an author doesn't try to cover somethings or make it smoother and propitiate, when he or she doesn't suppress what has to be told - a reader has no chance to stay dispassionate. You made me love you characters and now I'm interesting in everything, no matter what they do - sitting and staring into nothing, talking, walking, they can forget about war and just be on the pages and I would be in awe. The plot is an important thing and Fire Falling's plot was amazing! But I think a connection with MCs is something more and something that isn't easy to orchestrate (rather impossible). And you managed to do it) I just wanted to let you know how great it is. Okay, maybe my boss won't agree with us, 'cause I couldn't stop reading even at word xDD Thank you again!

Keep writing, you're awesome! W..."Aww, I'm so honored you enjoy my work! I can only hope I continue to craft a tale that you find enthralling.
You know, I struggle so much with "classifying" Air Awakens. Yes, it is a coming of age story in many ways where Vhalla grows into herself and discovers that who she really is as a person lies in the intersection of what she wants for herself, what she can have, and what the world's expectations are. But, I also wanted to be true to the subject matter. If I am writing about war, hate, love, I wanted to capture those emotions in a way that I hope is sincere and yet "YA Appropriate". I believe books play an important role in inspiring discussion so I try not to gloss over or simplify those complex situations and feelings.
Elise, thank you very much for such a story! I'm so related with characters that I can't work, I think only about them and their fates. And this is amazing feeling!) Keep writing, you're awesome! Wanna have mooooooooore books of yours in the future)ps: you'are one of a few authors who work on upper-ya area (I mean, real problems, smart and wise characters, sensual scenes (not cut ones, but detailed), this is awe-thing for still young but already mature people)

I'm so glad you loved it!!! I have a bunch of fun things planned for leading up to Earth's End, so keep an eye out ;)

I'm so glad you enjoyed Air Awakens so much. I loved the anime images you used in your review! I can only hope I continue to meet your expectations as my writing progresses :)
This is not a statement, but more so a Declaration: Just finish reading Air Awakens and I just needed to come and let you know that it was "Freaking Amazing" I can't wait for Fire Falling to be release and you can consider me "Hooked" and one of your dearest and loyal fan onwards. : ))
