Alpsten, Ellen Alice Edda Annemarie: - "ELLEN ALPSTEN - BIOEllen Alpsten was born and raised free-range in the Kenyan highlands. As her elder brothers attended boarding school, she dressed up her many pets (cats, dogs, chicken, geese, a stroppy Polo pony, a wounded Serval cat and at times a baby crocodile!) and forced them to listen to her stories.Upon graduating from the 'Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris' with a MSc in PPE, she worked first as a TV -Producer and then as a news-anchor for Bloomberg German TV London. While pushing gruesome night shifts on breakfast TV, she also started to write in earnest, every day, after work, a brief nap, and a run. Today, Ellen works as an author and as a journalist for international publications such as the German 'FAZ', Vogue, Standpoint, and CN Traveller. She lives in London with her husband, her three sons, and a moody fox red Labrador.Her debut 'Tsarina' series was published in 2020 & 2021 and sold all over the world, being translated in 23 languages. 'The Last Princess' is her new series, following the fabulous fate of Gytha Godwinson."
