Ellen’s passion for writing began long before her first published book, with early poems and short stories crafted purely out of love for the written word. Her first serious piece, Kathleen/Catherine, was typed on a small portable Smith Corona no computer, no spell check, no shortcuts just pure dedication. The story even caught the attention of Redbook, who responded with interest and encouragement.

Over the years, Ellen went on to write Kathleen/Catherine, One for the Money, Murder by Proxy, and the genre-diverse CeeCee: Shades of Black. Her talent was recognized by a prominent New York agent who was ready to help launch her publishing journey until the events of 9/11 put everything, including her writing career, on pause.

Now, Ellen is reigniting her literary journey and is excited to bring her stories to readers everywhere once again.
