When Alice was six, she wrote a poem about having a bath in a tub of baked beans. Though hilarious, the poem received little critical acclaim. Later in life, Alice received a Bachelor of Arts and a Graduate Diploma in Education before teaching high school English for the better part of a decade. Her favourite thing about teaching is making people laugh. It’s also her favourite thing about writing.
Alice writes lots of things, but is most proud of her debut novel, Mooney River. It’s good. Almost as good as the baked bean poem. An early version of Mooney River was highly commended for the Fogarty Literary Award in 2021. Since then, Alice has become a passionate self-publisher.
The second novel in the Mooney River Series – Foxhead Bay – will be released in December 2025.
