Jeff D. Ellis

Jeff's novels are usually classified as paranormal romance or urban fantasy, but they're really all over the place, always with a great big dose of action and adventure. He's written two series set in modern day Seattle: Illicit Seattle (vampire romance and shady paranormal business dealings) and The Protectors (monsters and urban paranormal action). He grew up with a steady diet of reading fantasy and science fiction novels and writing computer programs. Later his tastes ran to the likes of Ian Fleming and Tom Clancy. Some of his current favorite authors are Jim Butcher, Craig Johnson, Daniel Silva, Michael Connelly, Larry Correia, Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, and Neil Gaiman. Jeff is a fun-loving guy with a degree in Psychology and Computer Science. He has more than 30 years experience working with computers and managing IT departments. He enjoys being creative with his writing, 3D printing, and woodworking. He has also been an instructor of 3D animation. One high point was being introduced by Stan Lee as part of a team at ComicCon for work on 3D animation for Iron Man and Fantastic 4 back in the 1990s. He lives in Auburn, WA (Seattle area) with his wife, one demanding cat and two ferociously protective dogs.
