ELLISE WAS BORN and raised in Idaho, U.S.A., and was educated, fell in love, and married there. After getting married, she moved with her husband to Eastern Idaho where they are now raising their three children.

Ellise began writing after facing a bout with breast cancer. It became her outlet, and she has enjoyed working on her newest talent she believes a loving Father in heaven has blessed her with. The Huntington Saga Series has nine novels: The Governess (Volumes One, Two, and Three; The Trilogy; and The Governess Novella #1); Pirate Bride; Elspeth Was Her Name; Creighton’s Daughter; and Jonathon’s Revenge. Look for these novels and more in the coming months ahead on Ellise’s website below.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

It doesn't matter where. If you already have a scene or a partial scene in your mind, start there. That's what I did. Now, that same scene is in the middle of my first book. I just wrote scene after scene and determined that it went before or after the original scene. Probably not the way you'd learn in school to become a writer, but it has worked beautifully for me.

Also, keep writing. Once you have published a book, your readers will be excited about reading something from you again. Just keep writing!

Set goals and accomplish them. Example, I will write 1,000 words Monday - Friday. Or set a publishing date and keep up the pace in order to accomplish that goal.

There are so many things you can do. Don't get discouraged. Think positive! Think--I can do this! And then DO IT! :)(less)

I've never had it. But I would say that if I did have it, I would immerse myself in the kind of reading I love the most. Kind of a "Take me away--Calgon moment". I think when we enjoy life, enjoy reading (because I would think all authors would be voracious readers. Just goes hand in hand, in my opinion), and enjoy wonderful stories, we are inspired in what we love about our own creation process. Go for it!(less)

My New Office!

I’m so excited! I usually am when I find a reason to blog though. Since I got my laptop in 2014, I haven’t really had a dedicated area that was all mine to write undisturbed. But as of yesterday, I have a new office space that’s all mine. I’ll show you some BEFORE and AFTER pictures of my new bare-bones office in a little while. But first, let me explain.
