She worked for the most famous publishers like Bantam, Avon, Warner, Harlequin Pocketbooks and St. Martin's Press and has produced most of the covers for Johanna Lindsey, Bertrice Small and Jude Deveraux, working with international models like Fabio Lanzoni and John DiSalvo.

Elaine lives in Hicksville (Long Island) along with two daughters, Melissa and Bettina. John Duillo, her late husband, was also an illustration for western novels covers.
