Bio

Ellison Blackburn lives with some of her favorite beings in Seattle, Washington. An early interest in the soft sciences, together with a career in information technology, ignited her curiosity in singularities many years ago. Thus, Ellison pens fiction that seems to crash like a wave over individual lives but rather leave a wake across societies too, stories that present multiple speculative ideas at once—because in real life, singularities will not manifest one after another in an orderly fashion.

Among her published works are Flash Back, book one of the women’s speculative fiction Fountain trilogy; If There Be Giants, book one of science fiction and speculative fiction Watchers duology; An Untimely End, book one of the science fiction and historical mystery series, the Windy City Files; and the cyberpunk dystopian fiction novella Virtue Us, the Future of Love.

Smart fantasy featuring smart women! An intellectual Indiana Jones with a female protagonist.


J C Steel

Ellison Blackburn’s protagonist is eminently relatable, and the mess of issues Charley faces in trying to make peace between her desires and her responsibilities will be shockingly familiar to many readers. Set in the near future, the story explores cutting-edge theories in both prosthetics and biology, while the level of psychological detail brings a realistic edge to the narrative and the characters spring vividly to life. Flash Back is well-written, with an analytical, laser-focus on the workings of inter-personal connections. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought that there must be something better in life, then this book is definitely for you.
