Judy Howard's books have been very popular since she started writing them. Through her workshops and presentations she's inspired many other to pick up the pen or start typing, including many RVers. We're happy to be able to share some of her thoughts about her writing in general and writing as an RVer in specific.... Continue Reading →
I confess upfront I'm not a reader of romance novels, so Janetta Fudge-Messmer's Early Birds isn't a book I'd normally pick up to read. But when I saw the series features RVing couple Ben and Betsy Stevenson, I not only read it but asked Janetta if she'd be willing to submit herself to an ellenbooks... Continue Reading →
Once again we're gifted with the insight of another writer of mysteries who not only features RVers as main characters, but is an RVer herself! (Yep, you'd be surprised how often us RVers spot boo-boos in books about RVing, sure signs the writers aren't RVers themselves.) We're pleased to welcome Karen Musser Nortman, author of...

It's been awhile since the ellenbooks has done an interview -- and what better way to bring them back than to feature fellow writers of mysteries featuring RVers! When I started imagining the Rollin RV Mystery series, I knew only about Sue Henry's Maxie and Stretch short series of four books. I worried that maybe... Continue Reading →

This year my husband and I mark our ninth year as full-time RVers. It's been an amazing ride! And, writer that I am, I've been making notes for years about the experience. While a more in-depth book is still percolating, I did settle down long enough this past winter to pull together some A-to-Z thoughts... Continue Reading →
Many thanks to Sherry Fundin for her wonderful review of Yuma Baby! I did my little happy dance to see how much she relates to Betty and Walt Rollin, and to see a comment from a reader who remembers the characters -- a goal of every writer 🙂 If you'd like to see what Sherry... Continue Reading →
"She's done it again. Ellen Behrens has created a can't- put-this-book-down mystery," writes Marcella Gauthier in her review of Yuma Baby for the Escapees Magazine. This review means more to me than most because it's by a fellow RVer for fellow RVers. The Escapee RV club has (so I've heard) about 50,000 members all over... Continue Reading →
Many thanks to Sherry Fundin at Fundinmentals for her review of "Pea Body": If you are looking for an adventure, Pea Body by Ellen Behrens, is a fun and entertaining cozy mystery that shares the wonders of nature, the characters of a small, seasonal coastal town on the outerbanks of North Carolina, the danger of...

Check out the interview and -- Â even better -- check out her books, an excellent series mixing romance, suspense, and plenty of action! Many thanks to cj petterson for... Continue Reading →
