Welcome to the Ellen and Emily website … scroll down for information, books, videos and more!

First, I’ll tell you a little bit about myself……or should I say, both of us:

Why two names? When I was in my mother’s womb, she was sure she was having twins. She decided to call “us” Ellen and Emily. Later, when I wrote my first racy romance, I decided to use a pen name. ”Emily” made her appearance. Gillette=razor=sharp…you get my drift.

Now, it makes it easy to distinguish between the more G/PG rated books (Ellen) and the R+ books (Emily) but it also shows, to me anyway, that we are all complex, multi-layered individuals.

I hope you’ll check out my titles. I write for Indian River Media group, have two blogs (www.ellenpoems.blogspot.com and www.ellengillette.blogspot.com), and substitute teach in south Florida. I’m a community theater enthusiast, as well as a freelance editor and illustrator. If you’d like to contact me about a book reading/signing, my email is ellengillette22@gmail.com or readercontact@ellenandemily.com (I’m trying that out….) Find “us” on Facebook too!
