Born and bred in Sydney, she admits that while she relishes the energy and vitality of the Harbour city, she could never consider abandoning her now, semi-rural lifestyle on a permanent basis.
First published with Harlequin Mills & Boon in 1994, Alison knows and delivers what romance readers want. Her writing engages interest from the very first paragraph via strong, well defined characters, a unique blend of wit, charm and warmth with sharp snappy dialogue; all in a cocktail of sensuality, romance and a liberal splash of humour. While Alison claims to still have to pinch herself to believe her publishing success is real, the extent of her talent was tangibly recognized when she won the 1999 Romantic Book of the Year Award from the Romance Writers of Australia for her work Boots in the Bedroom.
In addition to her passion for writing, Alison loves sports (particularly netball and basketball) and takes an active part in coaching/managing whenever possible. An avid reader of various fiction genres and biographies, she enjoys R&B music and backyard barbeques with family and friends. Indeed she credits most of her ongoing success to the support she receives from her husband and children confessing her culinary and domestic skills leave much to be desired, but that mercifully she has found the kind of husband most women can only dream (or read) about - he cooks, cleans and is an endless source of encouragement, strength and sanity. Meanwhile, her kids have long since given up hoping she'll stop embarrassing them by conversing aloud to her characters when they have friends over - apparently, having a crazy mother is now kewl!view less
