Bella writes twisty fiction about intimate relationships, dark secrets, and the stories we hide from those closest to us. Dr. Bella Ellwood-Clayton holds a BA from Concordia University in Montréal and a PhD from the University of Melbourne in sexual anthropology. Her debut novel, Weekend Friends (Post Hill Press/Simon & Schuster, 2023), was hailed as “unputdownable” by bestselling author Nicola Moriarty. She is also the author of a nonfiction book, Sex Drive: In Pursuit of Female Desire (Allen & Unwin, 2012). Her short stories, poetry, and articles have appeared in the Huffington Post and Daily Life, and she has been featured in a National Geographic documentary and given a TEDx talk. Look out for her next novel, The Swimming Club, coming from Joffe Books in April 2025, with another novel to follow. Married to an Aussie, she lives in Melbourne with her two spirited—eek—teens and a mini Maltese who’s convinced he’s a pit bull. When not on her laptop, you can find her downward dogging, coaxing her offspring to go outside, and randomly blurting out, “Oh, that’s a good story idea.”
