About Me
Hi, I’m Ellen. I live with a black tortie cat and a host of carnivorous plants in Melbourne, Australia (Boonwurrung Country).
I’ve loved all things fantasy since my teens, especially stories set in imaginary worlds. I have a passion for adventure and exploring new places in the real world too.
I also provide writing, editing and communications services for businesses, with a particular interest in industry, technology and engineering. Visit me on LinkedIn for more information.
