Alice has published two non-fiction books and ten critically-acclaimed novels, including A Song for Tomorrow and the bestselling title, Monday to Friday Man. She is drawn to writing about people who face adversity, and deal with it through friendship, love and community, inspired by her own experience of a professional tennis career cut short at the age of 18 by illness. Alice has never played tennis again, a sadness that will always be with her, but she has very much filled that void with writing.

Alice is drawn to true stories and write with compassion, empathy and humour about issues such as homelessness (The Saturday Place) that relate to the world, and resonate with my growing readership. She is also a qualified psychotherapist, having just graduated this summer. she believes that therapy and writing have much in common: it’s about a curiosity in people, in human nature, and exploring how complex and unique we all are.

She lives in West London and one of her most favourite things in the world is to walk her beloved dog, Mr Darcy, in the park.
