Ellen Hartman

Ellen Hartman has been making a living as a writer ever since she got a creative writing degree from Carnegie Mellon University and went to work for Microsoft. She spent fifteen years writing technical manuals no one ever read until she finally decided to take a shot at writing what she really loves—romance. Ellen wrote much of her first novel in the back of a preschool classroom while she was trying to ease her younger son’s separation anxiety. She had agreed to stick around for a day, maybe two. Somehow—the exact chain of events is hazy—one day turned into a full year of scribbling in a notebook on the bench in the corner. Her son is now a completely independent middle school school student (phew!), and that book became her first sale to Superromance.
