Mitchell S. Elrick lives near Denver, Colorado, with his wife and pets. When he isn’t teaching English or coaching basketball, he’s tip-tapping at his computer, usually cursing that he can’t find the right words. When he isn’t teaching, coaching, or computer-cursing, he’s definitely losing to his wife at Mario Kart.

Mitchell’s short story “Polka Dots” appears in Another Chance to Get It Right: A New Year’s Eve Anthology (2024) and “MJ’s Jersey” appears in Recipes for Romance: A Sweet Valentine’s Day Anthology, to be published in January 2025. He is also the author of The Best Damn Jedi in the Galaxy, to be released in February 2025 from Attic Ebooks. Follow Mitchell on Instagram @mitchellselrick.author.
