Ellen B. O’Brien writes romance novels with humor, spice, heart, and more run-on sentences than you can shake a very convoluted stick at. She is a longtime reader of the romance genre who always pays her HEA tax and never uses generative AI at any point in her creative process, because besides being ethically and environmentally awful, genAI is just not unhinged enough for her stories. Her debut novel “Monsoon” is a contemporary fantasy romance set in her home of almost three decades, Tucson, Arizona. It is due for release in February of 2025. She also has plans for contemporary non-fantasy romance, monster romance, paranormal romance, and urban fantasy romance novels over the next few years.
Prior to dipping her toe into the world of indie publishing, Ellen B. has spent many years writing fanfiction, most recently (and still) at the Elysian Fields Spuffy Fanwork Archive. Her works may be found there and at Archive of Our Own under the username bewildered. Ellen B. O’Brien is the pen name of artist, illustrator, and graphic designer Bridget Engman Wilde (or Bengman for short) under which name she also provides editing services.
