Ellery Adams

Ellery Adams is a bestselling American author, well-known for her cozy mystery novels. She has written over forty novels and is constantly accompanied in her work by her three felines. Ellery grew up near the Long Island Sound, which left her with cherished memories of the open water, violent storms, and the familiar smell from the sea. As an adult, she found herself living in various landlocked towns, which made her miss the ocean even more.

Ellery has had a lifelong love affair with stories, food, and rescue animals. She has worked in a variety of fields throughout her life, including as a caterer, retail clerk, car salesperson, teacher, tutor, and tech writer. Eventually, she decided to dedicate her full-time efforts to being a novelist. Now, she spends her days in central North Carolina, where she enjoys rearranging her bookshelves, reading, baking, and savoring coffee and bubbly.

Some of Ellery's most popular series include The Secret, Book, and Scone Society Mysteries, The Book Retreat Mysteries, The Books By the Bay Mysteries, and The Charmed Pie Shoppe Mysteries. In addition, she has also written several Indie series, such as The Supper Club Series, The Hope Street Series, and The Molly Appleby Collectible Series.
