Ella Craig was born in Bristol and raised in South Gloucestershire where she trained as a lab technician.
Fancying a change, she moved to Devon and worked in call centres, shops, and as an office temp along with a brief stint as an artist’s model (she kept her clothes on).
Ella now lives on a farm in Bulgaria with her husband, three dogs, two cats and a flock of feral chickens.
She published her first novel, Sunday Girl, in March 2019.

Jim Adams is the host for Song Lyric Sunday. This week’s theme is New Wave.
It’s New Wave this week, and I’m going for a group from Glasgow: Lloyd Cole and the Commotions. They were a little bit popsy and a lot a bit angsty. And their (non-hit) single, Brand New Friend, ticked both these boxes.
The band also carried off the pouting, floppy-haired look of the mid-eighties, and along with Cole’s witty and often deep lyrics, they were extremely popular among students.
This didn’t lead to major chart success, and the band split up in 1989 after five years, four albums and a handful of singles. Some are pants, some are amazing, and some are just plain bonkers.
