THOUGHTS WHILE FALLING
Featuring the award-winning short story, The Art of Almost.
A collection of short stories by Elinora Westfall Published by Elsker Publishing House.
“A beautifully haunting collection” - Taura Wildes
“Prepare to seduced” - David Scrivener, Oxfam Books
The Art of Almost follows Gillian as a teenager on the brink of womanhood and later as a weary adult. The writing is exquisite—poignant and evocative, transporting you to the sensations of warm flat beer and dusty heat, fillied with the nostalgic memories of summer.
While it addresses dark themes like domestic violence it does so sensitively, culminating in a positive sapphic resolution. Experience this powerful story and the others featured in this collection that explore the struggles of authenticity and the joy of embracing one’s true self.

LIFE IN THE DRESSING ROOM OF THE THEATRE
Collected Poems written by Elinora WestfallPublished by Vine Leaves Press
A woman's soul is laid bare between these pages, eviscerated, sunk deep between ink and page. Life in the Dressing Room of the Theatre is a meandering journey of a heart both scarred and lonely and fierce and wild as it seeks itself in each new incarnation. It is stitched and pieced together with the blades of grass and faded-yellow ribbons that string themselves through each poem, following the thread of love, through grief and trauma, suicide and rose-tinted memories while traversing the vague and uneven road to self-rediscovery.
"Elinora’s command of language is extraordinary, I couldn’t put it down! Striking, cinematic imagery. Achingly beautiful use of language. It’s a remarkable collection.” - Robbie Jarvis, actor
