Hi, I'm Gwen Ellery. I write romantic comedy novels for the desperately amused. If it's reflective or funny, I'm there.

My reading tastes are eclectic, although lately I've been drawn to classic English lit.

Likewise, Jazmen. Goodreads feels less like 20 million people whenever I see a familiar face. :-)
