Ellie Bethel

Ellie, like Peter Pan, never really wanted to grow up. Unfortunately these things happen and in a desperate attempt to slow the process of time she immerses herself regularly in children's books, despite not being a child anymore. She practically eats books. In this way Ellie's brain has become so jam-packed with stories that sometimes they spill over.
She was eleven when her first poem was published and following that she scribbled her way through her teenage years. Ellie has lived all over the place; Belize, Spain, New York . . . but has now swapped the bright lights for the quiet life in a quaint fishing village in Kent, where she finds inspiration in the strangest places, usually by the sea or with a latte in her local coffee shop!  Her first children's book, 'Michael Recycle', was published to great acclaim in February 2008 and she has a second book 'The Tail Of The Whale' coming out in October 2008.  The sequel to 'Michael Recycle', which is entitled 'Litterbug Doug', will be published in February 2009.
