Welcome to The Duck's Nest--Ellen Terris Brenner, proprietress. Ellen has worked at everything from dishwasher to computer geek to parish minister to band road manager to social activist, getting into all sorts of interesting adventures along the way. She is a graduate of the Clarion West Writer's Workshop as well as a couple of fancy-schmancy universities in Boston. Ellen currently makes her home in San Diego, where she busies herself with writing, gourmet cooking, following the exploits of various of her musician friends, and random assorted computer-geekeries. She can be found on-line in many of the usual places using the handle "mizducky" or, when in a particularly festive mood, "Mam'zelle Daphne Canard".
