E.L. Phoenix is a truth explorer and a lay minister. She is an adventurer, a charismatic speaker, a lover of nature and animals, and a happy learner. From an early age, she has studied theology, archeology, history, philosophy, quantum physics and modern literature. Elaine is currently on sabbatical from her work as a lay minister to hunt for proof of prehistoric advanced civilizations on all seven continents; in other words, she's hunting for proof of God. She splits her time between Wyoming and Virginia and lives with her three children. El is the author of several books, including the award-winning and best-selling Ripple and I Run.
