BIO
A dark retelling of LEGALLY BLONDE, ELLE RESENDES is an investigative ethics attorney in Rhode Island who realized too late that she didn't want to be a lawyer. Elle now uses her legal skills to pen dramatic thrillers about conniving women who find themselves on the wrong side of the law while struggling to hide their true identities behind societal masks.
Elle went from passing the bar to studying writing for TV in UCLA's Professional Program and participating in the Roadmap Writers Career Writer Program. When she's not investigating ethics complaints or writing intricate plot twists, Elle is creating down-the-rabbit-hole conspiracy theories about the most recent season of SEVERANCE.
