The Writer: J.E. Ellis

A native to Northern California, I moved to Reno, Nevada in 1985. I was a truck driver for 34 years (recently retired, whoop! whoop!), married for 30, and have a 16 year old granddaughter who has me wrapped around her fingers (and knows it). In 1994, I began writing professionally (pen name J.E. Ellis), from magazine articles to technical brochures to TV pilots. Several short stories, as well as my 2006 award-winning fantasy book, "The Hordes of Rage," are available on my website. I recently returned to TTRPGs where I run games out of the local game store, Nerdvana. And go to as many sci-fi or gaming cons as I can afford. Go to bio
