Dr. Elif Acar is a storyteller deeply inspired by the human spirit, identity, and the quest for meaning. Drawing from her own life journey and the landscapes of her experiences, she crafts lyrical narratives that evoke emotional depth and philosophical introspection. Crow Flies is her debut novel and the first installment in The Crow Series, a trilogy exploring themes of self-discovery, home, and belonging.

When she's not writing, Elif teaches finance and economics at a university in Turkey, but she finds peace wandering along the shores of the Mediterranean, immersing herself in philosophy and books, and spending cherished moments with friends, family, and her dog, Mia – a Coton-de-Tulear with a larger-than-life personality. Elif currently resides in Adana, where the echoes of her roots continue to shape her stories.
