Ellen P. Thomas
I am a wife, mother and Presbyterian minister living in the midwest. I love to read and write! In addition to preaching for the past 30 years, I have also had positions in journalism and social work. I swim three days a week, grow a big garden and do home canning, and I love to read and write mystery novels (I have written two so far). I teach a Presbyterian Sunday School class for young children and they have taught me a lot, maybe more than I've taught them. I am a vegetarian and try to live in harmony with the earth.
