As a teenager, Alison Joy wrote stories in her head at night before she fell asleep. She still does, but finally decided to get some of the stories out of her head and onto paper, then computer, and finally published. She enjoys being able to say what goes on in her characters’ lives, who falls in love with whom, unexpected journeys, and changing the story if she doesn’t like it.

A long-term resident of Queensland’s capital city, Brisbane, her favourite colour is blue, except at State of Origin Time.

As well as reading, she also enjoys photography and is working on a local community based photography business to help fund her writing journey.

She has four young adult children and one son-in-law, but no grand-babies yet.

Her favourite romance movie is ‘While You Were Sleeping” and her swoon worthy hero is actor Pierce Brosnan.
