A Florida-born writer with a strong interest in history, psychology, and the social forces that shape everyday life. His books range from historical fiction to nonfiction, often blending careful research with a storyteller's eye.
C. Arthur Ellis, Jr. grew up in Live Oak, Florida, and his author biography says the stories and history of that place left a lasting mark on him. He writes across both fiction and nonfiction, with subjects that include the Civil War, religion, philosophy, and psychology.
His published works include Jackie's Job, In the Belly of the Anaconda, Bible Bullies: How Fundamentalists Got the Good Book So Wrong, and Of Mind and Man. On his website, he describes his work as writing about historical issues that have shaped our lives, which helps explain the range of themes he takes on.
Ellis's writing appears to be driven by curiosity about how people think, how societies change, and how the past continues to influence the present. Whether he is telling a story set in an earlier era or exploring ideas in nonfiction, his work aims to connect history with human experience in a clear, approachable way.
