fellow passenger who tells the most interesting stories.
Desperate

Ellen currently
lives in St. Louis. When not guiding characters to “happily ever after” she’s
apt to be reading, walking in the neighborhood, or tending her tiny garden. You

Why did you choose to write books?
When I visit a library or bookstore, I’m drawn to
full-length novels, biographies, and historical works rather than
short-stories, poetry, or anthologies. So when I started to write – I wanted my
work to fit what I read. I struggled at first to make my stories long enough
for publication as a novel, but as the years progress, the length comes a
little more natural.
What is your most proud moment as an
author?
It’s difficult to pick just one. However, when I’m
selling books at a craft show, it’s a real thrill for a person to say “I’ve
never met an author before” and want to shake my hand.
Why should a reader read your current
book?
New Dreams
is a clean and wholesome romance set in 1850’s Illinois. My book is suitable
for all ages and will have a happy ending. In addition, some of the incidents
from a time of great change in the mid-nineteenth century echo in the present.
What do you think will be your writing
legacy?
I have learned a great deal from other writers. I hope
that I am able to pass down some knowledge to the writers that follow – either
by reviews, critiques, or conversations over coffee.
What advice would you offer an author
whose book is releasing next week?
I would encourage them to post about their book on
every social media platform where they have an account. Then I would ask them
to find several friends willing to read the book and post a review in the first
weeks after release.
