You, Me and Him

Growing up, Alice was always known to family and friends as, ‘Alice, the tennis player’. Aged 18, she was on the verge of signing a tennis scholarship to America, but fate had other ideas. She began to experience pain in her right hand, which then developed into rheumatoid arthritis - an autoimmune condition which has been life-changing in every way.
Alice’s writing career began in her early 20s, encouraged by a friend who believed she might find it therapeutic to process the loss of her tennis and old life. Alice’s books are infused with her experience of adversity and grief, and the love, support and friendship she has received. This all finds its way on to the page, along with a lovely dose of humour.
Alongside Alice’s writing, she is now a fully qualified psychotherapist. This was something she always wanted to do as she never forgot her first counsellor, who helped her to rebuild her life after her diagnosis.
Finally, Alice loves dog walking, a glass of white wine and winning a game of cards. At heart, she will always be competitive. ‘Alice the tennis player’ is still in her, seen in her courageous fighting spirit.
