Carl Ehnis.
I’ve written millions of words across a variety of media, including six novels and an experimental project on every possible topic.
I won some awards as a marketing communications director in the world of corporate finance, and several of my novels draw from that experience, most notably Race Riot and MEDICUS: well-reviewed thrillers that shine a withering light on the corruption and incompetence of their high-powered executive villains.
My speculative novel Come the Harpies was a Maxy Award Finalist. My latest, The Indispensable Lottie Hot, was runner-up in the Literary Novel category of the 2023 Book Pipeline Unpublished Contest and will be released by Running Wild Press.
Born and raised in the Garden State, I live by the Jersey Shore with my much smarter wife and two cats, my two grown daughters having set off on their own life adventures.
If you insist on trying to know me better, I suggest downloading One Page a Day — a confounding semi-autobiographical project that’s amusing in places but most likely a big mistake.
