Alice grew up in suburban New Jersey with a brother and three sisters, sidewalks to play hopscotch on and friends to walk to school with. She developed a bad case of wanderlust, which might be blamed on nomadic ancestors or all that speculative fiction she devoured. After attending college in New Jersey and Massachusetts, she finished her Bachelors in Fine Arts at the University of New Mexico. Since that time she has worked a variety of jobs on both coasts and in the middle, Boston, Los Angeles, Grand Junction, Long Beach Island. Now she lives in Asheville, NC, where she gardens and writes.
