In 1976 "New Lensman" was published, containing a chapter called Moon Inspector, based on a piece called "Moon Prospector" which Ellern had written for the April 1966 issue of Analog. He is on the board of directors of the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society, with a term expiring in 2008.

He is married to Anne Morrel.
