New Member - Welcome to Alexandra Almond!

Alexandra Almond lives and works on Bunurong land in Melbourne (Naarm) with her tennis-ball obsessed Labrador, Captain. Before turning her hand to writing, previous roles included stablehand, clown, HR assistant, flower buyer, procurement manager, cleaner and human-centred designer, which is her current day job. She might have included footballer on that list if the AFLW had arrived three decades earlier; and if she had any ability. She writes mostly cosy fantasy, although she also dabbles in contemporary romance. Her debut novel, THOROUGHLY DISENCHANTED, will be published by HarperCollinsAU in December; it's a cosy fantasy about a group of friends trapped in a country house for 100 years.
