Ellen Henderson was born in Irving, Texas, and lived there until she met the love of her life at age 18, at which point she promptly left town. When she's not writing, Ellen enjoys reading what other people have written, watching far too much television, wasting time on the Internet, petting her two cats, and chatting with Mr. Love-of-Her-Life. When she's feeling energetic, she likes scuba diving, travel, and Iyengar yoga. She has also dabbled in Krav Maga, a self-defense and fighting program.
