Bio
Elmer Fuller writes faith-friendly historical fiction that explores personal growth amid times of challenge and change. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Christian ministry and a master’s in theology. His employment has included farm work, carpentry, ministry, web development, and leading IT teams in a global company.
His love of storytelling was nurtured by listening to his father tell about childhood adventures in the Ozark Mountains during the Great Depression. A member of the American Christian Fiction Writers, Fuller has improved his craft through self-study, conferences, and through critique partners. He was a 2023 semi-finalist in the ACFW Genesis contest, and a finalist in 2024. He also won third place for a chapter entered in the 2024 Kansas Author’s Club writing contest. He published his first novel in 2025 and writes a monthly newsletter that features a short story, book review and information on new releases and promotions of historical fiction in each issue.
A fan of baseball and football, he also enjoys reading in several genres, including historical fiction, sci-fi, and action/adventure. He speaks, writes, and volunteers for different organizations.
Review
“Kate Collins definitely isn’t the typical romantic heroine. The author has given her “flaws” that won’t go away and yet make her even more interesting. Her steadfast commitment to her belief in God’s will see her through the challenging obstacles she faces in a political situation that we know from history was fraught with danger–especially for a young single woman. I appreciated the tension created by the choices that Kate faces, and I’m intrigued by the story’s final paragraphs. Highly recommend to fans of historical romance.” –Johnnie Alexander, award-winning and best-selling author of Where Treasure Hides.
