Elaine Everest is closely associated with the wartime saga genre, particularly through the Woolworths series which began in 2016 and has grown to twelve books. The series follows women working at the Erith branch of Woolworths from the late 1930s through the war years and beyond, with each book adding new characters and stories while continuing the lives of familiar faces. The series has built a large readership among fans of authors like Rosie Goodwin and Maureen Lee.
Beyond the Woolworths books, she has written the Teashop Girls trilogy, set around NAAFI teashops during the Second World War, and several standalone novels including Gracie’s War and The Patchwork Girls, all of which draw on the same wartime British setting. Before turning to fiction full time, Everest also wrote practical guides about dog care, a very different corner of her bibliography that predates her literary career. She teaches creative writing and has been active in supporting other writers working in the wartime saga genre.
