About Mavery Ellscott

Mavery Ellscott writes action-packed suspense thrillers with twisty plots, sharp banter, and a touch of romance. Her Shadow Defense Security series has earned award recognition, including a Global Book Awards Silver Medal for Shadow Storm and a Top Ten semi-finalist spot for Shadowed Alliances in the Clive Cussler Foundation Adventure Writers Competition.

Mavery’s love of storytelling started early. Not one to shy away from a challenge, she convinced a neighbor to help her write and publish a newspaper. An ambitious endeavor for an eight-year-old armed with scrap paper and her dad’s old typewriter. Total circulation: two. Fortunately, her later releases reached a few more readers. A conservationist, she’s still trying to work an eco-friendly high-speed chase into a future book.

So, send your kids and partner to bed early, load up on snacks, put your cell phone on airplane mode, and throw extra treats in the dog’s bowl. If you like your suspense fast, your secrets deadly, and your heroes worth rooting for, you’re in the right place. You might need to make a coffee run on the way to work tomorrow.
