Caucasian woman, 40s, with long blonde hair tucked behind her ears, wearing black, head to toe. She tugs at the bottom of her shirt while, behind her, relaxed after her own reading, A.L. Kennedy listens.

Hullo!
I've read most of it. I like Elyse's voice. It's very easy, takes you offroading before you realize that you're without a map and have to trust the driver. She understands the universal truths so she's a worthy guide.
Always prowling!
