Hi! I’m Ellie.
Ellie J Duck was born and raised in rural Australia where there wasn’t a whole lot to do besides read. When the books that took her fancy ran out, she had no choice but to pick up her laptop and start pecking away at the keys to create her own works of literary ‘genius’ just to keep herself entertained. At the ripe old age of fifteen she painstakingly typed out a first draft – that will never see the light of day because there isn’t enough eye-bleach to cure anyone misfortunate enough to read it.
After some well-deserved teasing from her brother on the matter, Ellie spent the following eleven years honing her craft under the supportive cheerleading of her Mum, the “you can do its” of her Dad, the endless teasing of her partner, and with the assistance of a few hundred thousand rabid fanfiction readers. Living in Brisbane with her partner and her two cats, Ellie spends her free time writing, arguing with the cats about how much food per day is actually appropriate, and avoiding social functions that require shoes.
