Ellen Won Steil Author

Any paid member of the Iowa Writers’ Collaborative is invited to join a Zoom call today at noon with Ellen Won Steil, author of her debut suspense novel “Fortune,” published by the Amazon imprint Lake Union Publishing.

I’ll be hosting the event, and enjoyed reading “Fortune.” I love books with Iowa ties and this one was a great read. I hope you join us.

“In this explosive novel about a decades-old mystery, shocking revelations of the past and the secrets of three women will be spilled when a small Midwest town announces a DNA Lottery.”

FORTUNE is an Amazon Editors’ pick for Best Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

Amazon First Reads September pick, hitting #4 in the entire Kindle Store:

And #1 Best Seller in five categories: 

#1 Best Seller in Mysteries 

#1 Best Seller in Women’s Domestic Life Fiction

#1 Best Seller in Women’s Divorce Fiction

#1 Best Seller in Mothers & Children Fiction

#1 Best Seller in Small Town & Rural Fiction

Ellen Won Steil grew up in Iowa in a Korean-American family. She earned her BA in journalism from Drake University and a law degree from William Mitchell College of Law. She lives in Minnesota with her husband and two young sons. She believes most good stories have at least a hint of darkness in them. For more information, visit www.ewsteil.com.
