Ellie Maureen

Hi! I’m Ellie Maureen, a Christian, YA and MG, fiction author with a voracious affinity for just about every genre. I started writing at sixteen years old and never stopped. I live in Minnesota with my family and feisty kitty cat. Besides being an avid storyteller, I’m a violinist, artist, and naturalist, at my happiest when I’m out in God’s natural world, especially when that involves climbing to high elevations or getting soaked in some form of water adventure.

Robin Hood enthusiast, angler with no pallet for actually eating fish, girl who’d rather where jeans and tennis shoes and go hiking than get dressed up any day, and most my favorite shows are cartoons.

Dark chocolate hot chocolate in the icy winter and fresh squeezed lemonade in balmy summer. Fires and swimming. Dancing and singing. I have a hard time wanting to go inside even when it begins to rain on me. I mean, come on! Rainbows and puddles? What could make the day better?

But when the storm clouds last for days, they can get me down and I find myself longing for sunshine that sparkles on freshwater lakes.

While on a walk in the forest or along the river, everything is magic to me!

The ocean is my long lost other half. I have a saltwater heart that will never stop longing to live near it’s briny waves.

But when it comes time to thinking of leaving the peace and simplicity of home, I can’t help but think I would always want to come back to my Minnesota.

I like to escape in the pages of a good book. Thats one of the reasons I write. Another is because writing gives me wings to fly all around the world and then some. But the most important reason to me is to share hope and light with anyone out there listening... Or reading.

Jesus loves you, and He has a plan, a purpose for your life. Please, tell me you believe that.
