Castle of Cards won the Cornerstones/Writer's News 2007 Wow Factor Competition for a children's novel by an unpublished writer before Ellen was signed by her agent,  Rosemary Canter of United Agents.

 

Cornerstones described the book thus:

"(This) is old-fashioned entertainment of the finest sort ... all the classic ingredients of good children's fiction; a mysteriously absent mother, and a spirited by often hungry heroine, who must, with the help of a true friend, find her own way in the world ..."

 

The books will be published by Orchard.
