William David Ellis

In the middle of a very steep learning curve... is the description of most of my life. Whether it is suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous opinions or just spilling a hot cup of coffee, I am always learning. Occasionally I write about it as you will note if you go to my web site and read, "Fire Ant Dancing", a short story about me learning about the evil nature of fire ants. I may also be at the local cafe listening to my characters talk about their crops, the weather and that crazy noise down in the swamp that they heard last night. Many of my characters were not created they were simply recorded down at the cafe drinking coffee, telling fibs and killing dragons.
