Ellie Thornton

ELLIE THORNTON is a USA Today bestselling author who’s been making up stories since before she could spell them—and honestly, not much has changed. These days, she channels that overactive imagination into swoony, clean romantic comedies filled with sharp banter, emotional depth, and just enough grit to make the payoff worth it.

By day, Ellie is an Acquisitions Manager at Cedar Fort Publishing & Media, where she spends her time finding, shaping, and bringing compelling stories to life. By night (and weekends, and any spare pocket of time she can find), she’s writing her own—currently diving into a hockey romantic comedy series that proves falling in love can be just as intense off the ice as it is on it.

Ellie believes the best romantic comedies don’t just make you laugh—they make you feel. Her stories blend humor and heart with real stakes, because love is rarely simple, and the best happily-ever-afters are the ones you have to fight for.

When she’s not writing or working with authors, Ellie can usually be found reading, listening to podcasts, working in her garden, experimenting in the kitchen, or spending time with her sister and her sister’s kids—who provide an alarming amount of real-life inspiration.
