Ella has been writing for as long as she could hold a pen, starting with Kindergarten short stories about turtles and stretching her wings from there. Now in her early thirties, she grew up as a science and science fiction/fantasy geek, as well as a - shh! - lesbian in an Apostolic Pentecostal household and church. In her first published work, she hopes to share some of her experiences with the church she left behind set in fictional form, and to give others in similar circumstances hope.
