Joan Ellis - FREE sneaky peek preview on Saturday August 1 at 12.30 ahead of performing at the IWLF.

The laughs are on ‘funny, fascinating’, local author, Joan Ellis as she switches seamlessly between her real life experiences as a girl in a man’s world in the 80s, working with the likes of Felicity Kendall and Harry Enfield, and the fictionalised version in her acclaimed book, “I Am Ella. Buy Me”.

Having gone from working girl to working Mum, Joan penned her ‘funny, poignant’ memoir, ‘The Things You Missed While You Were Away’. Left holding the baby, hear how this hapless single Mum, went from Mother’s Ruin to Mother’s milk in a heartbeat.

And discover why a chance meeting with a killer turned Joan into a thriller writer, inspiring “The Killing of Mummy’s Boy“. One 5 star review describes this Isle of Wight- based page-turner as ‘terrifying’.

Finally,there's Susan. Young, vulnerable and curious. Find in her the pages of 'Guilt'.

Joan’s women are funny, flip, flawed and above all, human. Please come along and meet them.
