About Alyson​

Stories of love, laughter, and happily ever afters.

My Story​

My journey into writing began in my mid-thirties, a testament to the truth that creativity knows no age limit. Born in England and now living in the west of France with my wife and our two dogs, I discovered my passion for storytelling through the most beautiful inspiration of all—love. My debut novel, “A Dance Towards Forever,” was born from our own love story, and since then, I’ve been crafting sapphic romances that celebrate authentic connections. Between scuba diving adventures and reading queer fiction, I write stories that reflect the beautiful complexity of love, hoping to create narratives that resonate, heal, and inspire.
