# About me
Darren Lewis was born in Cardiff in 1975 and now lives with his family in Norfolk. Although an avid reader of many genres it wasn't until his daughter, Ellie aged 6, asked for a story of her own that inspired him to put pen to paper."Ellie and I would like to make up bedtime stories, mainly about a kangaroo that travelled the world and have adventures."
These bedtime stories would lead to a first book in the trilogy. 'Ellie and the Rabbits' in which our young heroine meets a group of talking rabbits.
"My main goals were to induce a sense of wonder for my daughter, a sense of purpose and the importance of helping others."
A short book of poems for children followed and the sequel 'Ellie and the Dragon' was published in August and the trilogy was completed and published in December 2013 in 'Ellie and the Battle.'
The independent publishers Creativia added the books into their portfolio in early 2014 and published then as an omnibus edition entitled The Seren Trilogy.
Ellie's next adventures begin in Vengeance of Shadows, Book One of the Baiulus Series and Book Two entitled The Oncoming Storm. This new adventure is set four years after the original trilogy and pits Ellie against an enemy she has no knowledge of but knows her. The series will comprise of five books.
When not writing Darren can be found walking the coastlines of Norfolk or painting and crafting with a particular fondness for steampunk, a subject he hopes to write about soon.
