Ellie Thornton is a best-selling author who has been writing since she could lift a pencil and making up stories even longer than that.

For years she worked part-time jobs so she would always have time to write, read, and travel. Some of her favorite filler jobs included working as an editor, at a nursery (flowers not children,) as a driving instructor (not as harrowing as one might think,) and being a ghost tour guide.

She loves clean romances with clever subplots and romantic comedies that will make you tear up with laughter. This year she's writing in two romantic comedy series and can't wait to share them with you. The first is a Harvest Ranch spin off that she's co-authoring with Lucy McConnell called "Black Ops Tag: Mission Harvest Ranch," and the second is a collaboration with multiple authors called "Diamond Cove Romantic Comedy Series" that features meddling, matchmaking grandparents!

If she’s not at her computer, you can typically find her reading, listening to podcasts, in her garden, in her kitchen, or with her sister and her sister’s kids.
