Ink and Alibis

I'm E.J. Nellis, author of the Mick Blake Mystery series, which follows a small-town private investigator with a sharp eye and a dry wit. Alongside writing fiction, I also delve into herbal remedies and holistic wellness, with articles published in several online magazines and health blogs. My fascination with alternative healing shapes both the stories I tell and the nonfiction I write.

 

I bring a meticulous editorial eye to my work, thanks to years of professional proofreading—including legal and technical transcripts. With more than two decades in the IT industry, I've learned how to balance analytical precision with creative storytelling, a blend that shows up in my clean, character-driven prose.

 

I am currently shopping around for the right agent to represent Mick Blake and my other endeavors include poetry published in literary journals, continued herbal medicine articles on Medium.com and exploring themes of nature, healing, and mystery across my writing. Whether I'm untangling plotlines or plant lore, my work is rooted in curiosity, clarity, and a genuine love of story.
