Suicide survivor, insomniac, and compulsive writer are traits that Ellyson M. Shaw has come to accept as unusual super powers. Growing up in a small northwest town that was fortunate enough to have not one but three movie theaters, she spent hours parked in front of the big screen, later reimagining the movie plots with her dolls. She has worked in healthcare for over a decade, and writes in her spare time- mostly at the expense of sleeping. She currently lives in Oregon with her husband of 20 years, sharing their home with one very neurotic cat.
