Bret Easton , author of novels Glamorama and American Psycho (5)

I believe the answer is:

ellis

(Other definitions for ellis that I've seen before include "Havelock --, English essayist" , "- Island, former reception point for US immigrants" , "island close to New York" , "- Peters, wrote Brother Cadfael books" , "- - Peters (novelist)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
