Ellie Williams

Ellie’s passion for the English language sparked at just three months old, when she first recognised the power of changing her tone of voice. As she grew and her speech developed, so did her fascination with crafting captivating and playful sounds. This early curiosity soon blossomed into a love for words and music. Through singing, Ellie deepened her appreciation for the expressive beauty of the human voice.

As soon as Ellie began to dance, her theatrical side emerged; she was a natural performer. She started creating her own choreography and, later on, discovered the art of storytelling through interpretive dance. Ellie would bounce around her living room, in her front or back garden, and even at school, often encouraging her friends and cousins to join in the fun.

Ellie’s creativity also found expression in writing poetry, which later evolved into writing lyrics. She quickly developed a passion for musicals, which eventually led her to movies. Every cartoon or Disney film she watched, she turned into a poem. Later, expanding on these newfound talents, she began writing her own little stories.

Ellie aspired to be an actress, a singer, a writer—even a producer or director, creating her own films. Her passion was boundless; she wanted to experience every facet of the creative world, letting her ambition shape her journey.

Ellie’s passion accelerated throughout school. She loved English, Music, Drama, and Dance. By the time she could choose her own subjects, she joined the Performing Arts class. In music, she expanded her skills through instruments, singing, and songwriting. In Performing Arts, she developed her confidence and abilities through acting and performing.

After graduating high school, Ellie embarked on a transformative journey, leaving behind the familiar streets of Cardiff to start anew in England. This move marked a pause in her academic and artistic pursuits, but laid the groundwork for new experiences and inspiration.

She truly gained a wealth of experiences. Starting with her first job as a Sea Hostess on a ferry boat, her journey continued as she embraced motherhood for the first time—an adventure all its own.

Ellie’s life changed profoundly after the birth of her son, Alex, when it became clear he would require extraordinary care due to clinical negligence at birth. During this challenging period, Ellie’s dedication to writing was temporarily set aside as she focused on supporting her now-disabled child, and underwent a lengthy court case against the hospital.

Over the years, Ellie suffered, but despite her pain, she did everything in her power to see Alex’s amazing smile. Alex’s brain damage was a result of asphyxiation and the ventouse cap that lifted off his head during delivery. This led to quadriplegia, cerebral palsy, and myoclonic epilepsy. This was not what anyone would expect, no matter how many children you have.

Alex required 24/7 care, but with a loving family, everyone did their part to make sure his life was happy and fulfilling to the best of their ability. On the holidays and some weekends, Ellie’s sisters would travel from Wales to England to spend time with their amazing nephew. This gave Ellie and her mother a chance to reflect and recharge. Alex cried for long periods, at times up to 18 hours a day, due to the nerve damage. He couldn’t walk, he couldn’t sit unaided, he couldn’t speak, or eat properly. Yet, despite all of this wow, he could still smile and laugh.

In between his cries, Ellie had the opportunity to sit back and admire his beautiful, soft brown hair, the look of pure love in his stunning green eyes, and, despite being non-verbal, his smile said a 1000 words. Behind all that suffering, there was a boy full of nothing but love for everyone around him.

When Alex turned seven, Ellie chose to return to her hometown in Cardiff with her family. Here, she was about to embark on a fresh start and rekindle her passion for writing.

While sorting through her boxes she discovered an old writing project that began as a GCSE entry for her High school English Lit exam. This story gave her the A+ GCSE in English she needed and as she stared into its rough pages she realised something;

“I‘m going to publish this and dedicate it to Alex. He is my muse, my drive, my first love of everything.”

And she did!

Ellie published those books and she dedicated them to him, and those books are the A Broken Paradise Series.

She was back!

Then, on the high of Ellie’s recent success of the A Broken Paradise Series, tragedy struck the family, and she lost Alex after a grand mal seizure.

There were no words that Ellie could use to describe that kind of pain, or any way of filling the void he left behind. She had lost her reason for being. Her first love of everything. Her spark.

While still mourning her son, Ellie tried to move forward through her days. She began writing again, but mainly journaling through the pain. She took on other projects and began editing for other indie Authors, preparing their work for publication.

Then Ellie was presented with some unexpected news. She was pregnant! She smiled on the outside, but she was scared on the inside. She had not long lost her son, and she was now terrified the same thing could happen to her unborn child. Fears surrounding the hospital, her history with them, and losing her son made her spiral. However, Doctors assured her everything was going to be alright.

As Ellie began to grow, so did the confidence again in her writing. She took time aside from her editing for others and began writing for herself again. Ellie released a brand new revamp of her A Broken Paradise and released books 1-4. Producing one after another and could not stop! She also wrote a Halloween special short (at the time) that featured in an anthology.

After the birth of her second child, a girl named Seren, which is the Welsh name for “star,” Ellie’s renewal of purpose had finally arrived, and her heart began to swell with love. This sweet little angel didn’t realise at all how special she was. They say babies born after a child has passed away are called Rainbow Babies. However, Seren was more than that to Ellie. She was her lucky Star, sent to her by her big brother, who now watched over them.

While Seren would sleep, Ellie would tell her all the stories of her big brother, who watched over her. She would smile through tears at his memory, and that sting of his loss remained deep inside her broken heart. But with every moment spent with Seren, Ellie’s heart began to heal that little bit more.

As Seren grew, so did Ellie’s work. Seren’s light in Ellie’s life enhansed her creativity. The joy and love Seren created in turn boosted Ellie’s work. Ellie also began writing children’s shorts about adventures with Seren and their three cats, Muffy, Jecht and Arya.

It was a bittersweet moment for Ellie; where one child started her writing career, the other restarted it; even boosted it.

She continued to write and published books 5-6 to add to the new A Broken Paradise Series. She had started writing the 7th instalment, and she even got married!

But then Ellie’s writing took another hit and had to be put aside. Ellie became a victim of domestic abuse, accused of spending too much time on her passion and not enough time on the family. Ellie loved her family and spent every waking moment with them, and wrote only when possible. But to him, he saw things differently. This led to some physical, but mainly psychological abuse.

3 years of marriage and 10 years together, her life came crashing down. Her husband’s behaviour had got worse over time, and he was taken away for the safety of the family. After he left, Ellie truly realised just how bad her life in his shadow had been.

Ellie was lost, confused and terrified of what was going to happen to her and her daughter. The abuse she‘d suffered during the relationship continued even after. The true identity of the person she once loved reveal itself, and Ellie learned a harsh lesson about deception. The man she married was gone.

Years of courts and police, Ellie was finally released from the clutches of the abuse. The Judge ruled in his absence and absolved her of his tyranny. It was only after this ruling that Ellie was finally able to become a powerful, stronger and confident version of herself. This would later pass to her daughter, Seren who continues to flourish as a strong young woman.

This is when Ellie was no longer a victim.

She was a survivor!

And here we are! The end of 2025, and it‘s been a long, long journey to get here. Ellie spent the last three years becoming that stronger version of herself. She educated herself through the Freedom Programme and the Recovery Toolkit, which was supplied and supported by Women’s Aid/Domestic Abuse Services. With their earlier intervention and support, Ellie thrived through their programmes and broke out of her mental prison.

Ellie is back and authentically unapologetic.

She brings a wealth of knowledge, including degrees in Psychology, CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), and Life Coaching. She has refined her English skills by earning a Diploma or two and is currently pursuing a Law degree, while also exploring the fields of human rights, modern justice, tort law, and maritime law.

So what is Ellie up to now?

Er, well….. you‘re just going to have to stick around and find out!
