Ellis Stormwolf
So you wonder where's my four-leaf clover
I been lying, I'm no one's good luck charm
Where's my bag of dust? See my wings all gossamer
Now you're wondering where you're dream's gone wrong
Where the shadows fell and you don't belong

About the Author
Ellis Stormwolf is a 42-year-old Latina—a neurodivergent author of speculative, and often transgressive, fiction living in Iowa.Ellis was born in Miami, Florida, the daughter of Colombian and Cuban immigrants. She graduated cum laude from Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 2007, with a B.A. in English, a B.A. in Philosophy, a Political Science minor, and a concentration in Creative Writing. She graduated with an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Tulsa in 2013 and worked for nine years thereafter as a licensed professional counselor for at-risk populations across two states.Ellis has been a storyteller since before she learned how to speak her first word in Spanish, her first language. Early childhood trauma caused her muse to split from her, and with this unexpected gift, Joan was able to protect her storytelling self even from psychological harm. She told herself stories to soothe her turbulent inner world, and she told her friends stories in the form of “roleplayable” adventures—at times a LARP, or a Play-by-Email chain, or a tabletop RP, or inside the world of an MMORPG. And sometimes she wrote, a skill that was encouraged by teachers she expects to remain grateful to forever.Today most of Ellis's creativity is devoted to her closest group of friends on Final Fantasy XIV, for whom she runs roleplaying events, the stories of which run parallel to those of the game’s main story. She has begun submitting short stories and is preparing to write her first full-length novel.
