About Ellyn Wolfe

After multiple careers—Therapist, Human Resources Director, Corporate Stress Management Trainer, Life Coach, Antique Dealer, and Mom—Harvard-educated Ellyn Wolfe stepped into a life of literary creativity. “Grateful for the Color Blue: Surviving the Loss of An Adult Child” is her debut, a memoir documenting her journey through the death of her adult son, Rob Mulloy.

Former publisher and editor of “Straitjackets Magazine,” the literary arm of the Diamond Valley Writer’s Guild (access the magazine at straitjackets.org), Ellyn was a founding member of the DVWG and sat on the Board of Directors.

Ellyn loves her year-round outdoor life in Southern California, having escaped the harsh winters of both Boston, where she raised her family, and Glen Ellyn, Illinois, her childhood home.

Travel inspires her writing, introduces her to diverse cultures and perspectives, and makes history come alive. She gets on a plane whenever she can to explore the world with her gal-pals. At heart, she finds people the world over to be kind, caring, welcoming, and as curious about her as she is about them.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Needing a lighter focus, I am having fun writing a novel. A bizarre event in a Spanish castle, an unsettling discovery in an ancient priory in Cornwall, England, and a painting in London’s Tate Museum are stories woven into my novel in progress about three women from three countries who meet in Spain and share a common bond–lives in transition.

Also, three drafts of children’s books for kids who love to laugh are sitting patiently in my computer, waiting to come alive as books.
