Ellen Hoil

Written By Desert Palm Press

Ellen Hoil lives in wine country on the North Fork of Long Island between The Sound and The Peconic Bay. “I can’t imagine living anywhere that isn’t near water and open space.” When she isn’t writing fiction, she does writing for her other career as an in-house counsel attorney.

During her downtime, Ellen enjoys her hobbies of photography and getting involved in local politics. She is an ardent Sci-Fi geek and can be found at various conventions. My philosophy on life is that failure is never the end but only a temporary stopping point for a new adventure.

My Favorite Books & Authors:

The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

The Te of Piglet by Benjamin Hoff

Edgar Allen Poe

My Favorite Lesbian Fiction Books:

None So Blind by LJ Maas
