EMMA ELLIS

Author of some dark and weird books.

Nomad. Writer. Lover of all creatures great and small.

Hello readers, and welcome to my website. I am originally from the United Kingdom but now prefer to live life as a wanderer. I ditched the corporate life several years ago in favour of fresh air and stunning scenery. You can usually find me somewhere on mainland Europe, amongst nature, often in the mountains, delighting in the bugs and bees. If you spot a forty-something year-old woman drinking tea, sitting on the grass, staring at her laptop, come say hi. I am always happy to chat.
