Author 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. 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. 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.
