Ellie Stevenson is a former careers adviser and a member of the Careers Writers Association and Alliance of Independent Authors.
She writes on history, travel, careers and the arts. She's lived in one of the largest and one of the smallest islands of the world, which helps with the travel writing.
SHIP OF HAUNTS is her first novel and was published to coincide with the centenary of Titanic's sinking. The book is a complex, sometimes controversial story about Titanic, child migration and living a life beneath the sea, two miles down. The book is set in 1912, 2012, and the harsh world of the Australian outback in the 1940s.
Some comments on Ship of Haunts
'original', 'hard to put down' and 'I recommend this book to people who love a book with a sense of history or who have a creative imagination.' Reenie's Book Blog (http://reeniediva.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/ship-of-haunts-by-ellie-stevenson.html)
'she has brought the meticulous research of the non-fiction writer, as well as her undoubted flair for creating memorable characters. She describes herself as "passionate about Titanic" and conveys that passion in her story, in particular in the personage of Carrin's ghost.' Valerie Wilson (http://suite101.com/article/ship-of-haunts---the-other-titantic-story-by-ellie-stevenson-a411533)
Ellie's latest publication is a collection of short stories: WATCHING CHARLOTTE BRONTE DIE: AND OTHER SURREAL STORIES. Yet again these feature death, destruction, ghosts and mystery (with a touch of humour).
Ellie is currently working on her next novel, in between cups of coffee.
