Alice (Ali) Sharman lives in the North West of England with her husband, two small boys and fluffy dog. She has had a varied career, from teaching English both at home and abroad, to copywriting, journalism, content management, and ghostwriting. Her jobs have one thing in common: a love of the written word. She is currently studying part-time for a PhD, freelance writing, and scribbling short stories and poems about the challenges of motherhood and the world of crisis that we currently find ourselves living in.
