ABOUT ELLIS

Ellis Hargrove writes literary and speculative fiction about memory, identity, human worth, and the systems that determine how people are seen. His stories center lives at the edge of understanding, where technology, loss, and human connection collide.

With a professional background in healthcare management and laboratory operations, Hargrove brings an insider’s awareness of ethics, institutions, and the consequences of decisions made about other people’s lives. His current novel, What the Machine Kept, explores what remains when obedience gives way to mercy.
