Forensic psychologist by day, novelist by night, Ellery Kane has been writing--professionally and creatively--for as long as she can remember. Just like many of her main characters, Ellery loves to ask why, which is the reason she became a psychologist in the first place. Real life really is stranger than fiction, and Ellery's writing is often inspired by her day job.

And she's heard her fair share of real life thrillers.

Ellery lives in the San Francisco Bay Area of ​​California, a picturesque setting that provides the backdrop for many of her novels. If you don't find Ellery interviewing m

It's set to be released in January 2019 and will be the third book in the Doctors of Darkness series of psychological thrillers, each of which features a--shall we say, troubled--doctor. (less)

I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the series. I agree--Sebastian was one of my favorite characters to write from a psychological perspective. There was a lot going on with him, and he was loosely inspired by a client I had in group therapy many years ago. I don't have any plans to give him his own story right now, but you never know...Some characters just have a way of demanding to be heard from again! (less)

Quotes by Ellery A. Kane  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“My mother once told me that holding on to the past is like walking around with a pebble in your shoe. You can still keep walking, keep moving forward, but that pebble is always there nagging at you, begging for your attention. After a while, that pebble is all you can feel. Sometimes, you just have to stop walking for a minute and get rid of it once and for all.”
Ellery Kane

“One of my schizophrenic patients had told me heavy metal drowns the voices best.”
Ellery A. Kane, Shadows Among Us

“Is he always like this?”
“If by this, you mean moody, but strikingly handsome, then yes. Unfortunately, he is.”
Ellery A. Kane, Legacy

Topics Mentioning This Author

“People do not change, they are merely revealed.”
Anne Enright, The Gathering

“Everyone has secrets. It's just a matter of finding out what they are.”
Stieg Larsson, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

“If the real world were a book, it would never find a publisher. Overlong, detailed to the point of distraction-and ultimately, without a major resolution.”
Jasper Fforde, Something Rotten

“There is something in me maybe someday
to be written; now it is folded, and folded,
and folded, like a note in school.”
Sharon Olds

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”
Mary Oliver
