Novelist in the
Finger Lakes countryside
I write genre-blending fantasy about wild hearts and landscapes.
Hi! I’m Ellie
I live on a multigenerational organic and regenerative farm in the Finger Lakes region of Western New York with my husband and three boys.
We grow Christmas trees, host an annual holiday market, and raise Scottish Highland cattle.
I write stories (and sometimes recipes) inspired by forgotten pasts and nature’s magic, and I believe fiction and food hold the keys to all that ails.
When I’m not planning our next trip to Scotland, you can find me experimenting in the kitchen or writing elaborate food descriptions in my fantasy novels.
What I’m Working On
I’m currently preparing to go on sub with my YA romantic fantasy.
