It is with great sadness that I post the death of a talented writer and mentor to many. Gin Ellis, a fellow Georgia Romance Writer member, was found dead in her home on Wednesday evening. Gin was a unique person who lived life on her own terms and wrote brilliantly about loss, love and hope.
Gin was also one of my judges in the first Maggie contest I entered and the first published writer to say, “I think you have a lot of talent, finish that book.” Those were powerful words for a struggling unpubbed to hear and I’ll always carry them with me.
I want to thank her for the books she wrote, the friendship she extended, and the love of writing and reading she fostered. Gin will be missed.
Sorry, about your friend
