about me

Hello! My name is Ella. I live in Minnesota, famous for our frigid winters and the Mall of America. I love dragons and all things fantasy, and I've always loved to write fantasy. I started writing in first grade, when I wrote a story about a princess who married a dwarf for a school assignment. My biggest dream is to become a full-time professional author, and live in San Diego in a nice house on the beach, with a big grassy yard for my Great Dane, Siberian Husky, Samoyed, and German Shepard to run around in. I love big dogs! Denmark all the way! Kiss me, I'm Danish!

That profile picture is a picture of one of my favorite Danish foods, Stegt flæsk. It's like thick pieces of bacon with baked potato chunks drenched in creamy parsley sauce. It's amazing! Have you ever eaten Swiss chocolate? It's the best chocolate IN THE WORLD!

Some Q and A:
What's your favorite band?... Probably the Band Perry.
Favorite food?... Definitely stegt flæsk.
Favorite singer?... I'd have to say Gwen Stefani.
Favorite color?... Navy blue.
Favorite author?... Andrea Cremer, author of the Nightshade trilogy. If you haven't read her, do so immediately!
Favorite pop?... Mtn. Dew. But not diet.
Favorite dog breed?... I'm going to have to go with Great Dane.
Favorite book?... The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi. A great story, and with very deep meaning. He's also done a few other ones that are probably tied with that: Seer of Shadows, The Book Without Words, and The Good Dog.

I'm fourteen. Going to high school this fall. I'm a writer. There have been authors younger than me, so don't be so quick to judge. Besides, a lot of times when I compare my own writing with the work of other published writers, like Sarah Dessen (HATE HER!), many people have said that my writing is much better. People I barely know have said this, so you can just shut your face and keep all your negative opinions to yourself, because I don't care.
