At the age of nine, Ellen decided she was going to be a writer after she found her Aunt Nettie's trunk of True Confession magazines and spent untold hours reading the lot, a bag of Munchos potato chips and a frosty RC Cola at her side. Then she became lost in the pesky business of growing up and forgot all about it. Many years later she spotted a confession magazine on the grocery store shelf and began tapping out her own stories which were a joy to have published. Ellen now spends her day creating happily ever afters for her many characters.
