About Elaine:
 
Elaine is a writer across various genres. She writes children's books, women's fiction (published), non-fiction and screenplays.

When life threw her some curves, and she found herself a widow at a fairly young age, she decided, after some time and much contemplation, to enter the dating world via the internet. Elaine started placing her profile on internet dating sites.

It was a challenging and many times interesting experience. Elaine has met many nice men through these online dating experiences, but the reason she decided to write THE INTERNET DATING GUIDE: Good, Bad and Ugly was because of a common theme that kept cropping up while she was internet dating. People, whether they are men or women, are increasingly using online dating sites as a place to run scams. Nigerian scams, Russian scams...they are unfortunately infiltrating the online dating scene.

Elaine has first hand experience with some of these scammers and in many instances has learned to quickly recognize them as such. Due to her experience, she wanted others to be aware of the red flags these scammers put up. Many times they attempt to solicit money and/or private information.

While writing this guide, Elaine knew she also had to include, from her experience and others' experiences, ways to use common sense and caution when meeting strangers for the first time. She didn't want anyone to go into the online dating scene blindly. Unfortunately, as in real life, people are not always what they seem to be.

So, Elaine is passing along her experiences so others can internet date safely, because much of this vital information will not be found on any dating site.~~
