Hello and thanks for stopping by.
I’m a Melbourne writer of fantasy fiction, honing my craft and striving towards publication.
In this blog my focus is sharing my love of the fantasy genre and other aspects of the creative life — along with the challenge of juggling two careers.
Regular themed series include:
- A-Z of fantasy — a fortnightly exploration of fantasy-by-letter
- D&D Chronicles — my induction into the iconic Dungeons and Dragons role-playing game
- Feeding the Muse — a weekly(ish) post highlighting some everyday thing I’ve found inspirational
Plus there’s much reflection about the creative life and the occasional book review, weekly photo challenge response, and other random stuff. I’d love you to take a look around and perhaps hang out for a while.
In addition to writing fantasy speculative fiction, I’m also a communications professional in Melbourne, Australia. You can find me on LinkedIn here.
Otherwise, I’m ellenvgreg on Twitter or my email is drellenvg[at]gmail.
