L. Ana Ellis, a sleep-deprived government worker by day, lets her imagination roam free while writing science fiction late into the night. After spending her days toiling over spreadsheets in a windowless cubicle with fluorescent lighting, she spends her coffee-fueled late-night writing sessions creating worlds that are more of a commentary on the present than an accurate prediction of the future. Speculating about how societies will change in the future fascinates her; she is undeterred that so far she has been wrong 100% of the time.
Ellis has written four novels, including a cyberpunk sci-fi trilogy and a book about spy cats that’s targeted to preteens but fun for cat lovers of all ages. Her debut novel, Panacea Genesis, was a semifinalist in the 2023 Self Published Science Fiction Competition.
She lives in Alexandria, VA with her husband and two cats. When procrastinating, she occasionally posts on Instagram as lanaellisbooks. She publishes under the indie press Fire-Forged Books.
