BIOGRAPHY
Ellen L. Ekstrom is a native of the San Francisco Bay Area and was educated locally. She holds a bachelor's degree in theological studies and her area of concentration is Christian Mythos, also known as church history, with a sub-specialty in Christian Social Ethics, for both of which she took honors.

A clergywoman in the Episcopal Church, Ellen was ordained to the vocational diaconate in 2002 and is now retired from parish ministry, although she continues to be active in social justice issues and pastoral care.

Ellen has been fascinated by all things medieval since childhood and is now studying Late Anglo-Saxon England in preparation for two forthcoming novels, Swannsaeld, and The Sometime Queen. She is also working on the prequel to "Armor of Light" and "Ascalon," "George of Grasmere."

The genres Ellen prefers to work in are fantasy/historical: her first novel was The Legacy, a tale of fourteenth-century Florence and Tuscany, followed by her retelling of the St. George and the Dragon legend, Armor of Light, and St. Edmund Wood, a story of Victorian England. Once in a while, she delves into matters of the modern heart, as evidenced by her novels in the Midwinter Sonata series and What She Wished For… a Cautionary Tale. Just as a painter has many subjects to bring to a canvas, Ellen believes that there are many stories to tell and to limit oneself to a niche isn’t the way she lives and thinks.
