Alison Reynolds lives by the sea in Melbourne with her family and a heater-hogging, dentally challenged dog named Rosie. After a long career writing children’s books, her debut epistolary adult novel, The Near Daphne Experience was released in June 2022. 

Alison decided to concentrate on writing after a series of mediocre jobs, including working for the most curmudgeonly boss in Melbourne. 

She has a Masters of Creative Arts and is excellent at drinking coffee, braving Victoria’s icy seas and losing herself in books.
