Alison Reynolds lives by the sea in Melbourne with her family and a heater-hogging, dentally-challenged dog named Rosie. The Near Daphne Experience is her debut adult novel after a long career writing children's books. After a series of mediocre jobs and working for the most curmudgeonly boss in Melbourne, Alison decided to concentrate on writing. She has a Masters of Creative Arts and loves to visit and present at festivals, libraries, schools, and shops. Alison adores swimming in the waves, exploring new places and books.
'Funny and heartwarming. The most original book I've read in years!' - Rachael Johns 'Delightfully quirky, clever and witty. I absolutely adored it.' - Nicola Moriarty 'In the spirit of the funniest farces, this riotous story and its cast of caustic characters will have you laughing on the train in front of strangers.' - Carrie Cox
