JoEllen Conger is a twin writing team, who began their career when one was undergoing Chemotherapy. They joined Romance Writers of America, a national writer’s organization, in January 1989. Both have written and published instruction manuals, poetry, cooking, and metaphysical books. For fun they turned to fiction. Each writes separately under her own name, yet they share their common beginnings with a combined name when working together.

Of the Conger Twins, Ellen lives in Santa Cruz, California. Jo lives miles away in Bakersfield, California with her husband, and their collection of pets.

Ellen, currently a member of the Monterey Bay Chapter of the RWA, joined Futuristic, Fantasy and Paranormal, a cyber-Chapter of RWA, and started writing Fantasy. Return of the Goddess Trilogy is a “short story” that Ellen wrote initially for her youngest daughter, Makai. It's about a young princess who through her misadventures learns to appreciate the realms in her safe keeping, as well as her people.
