Novelist Bret Easton __ (5)

I believe the answer is:

ellis

(Other definitions for ellis that I've seen before include "Havelock --, English essayist" , "who wrote sexy books?" , "- Island, former reception point for US immigrants" , "Havelock --, psychologist" , "-- Bell, Bronte pen name" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
