A New And Different Life

Biographie de Alison Morant

Hi, thanks for checking out my latest novel, 'A New And Different Life'. I hope you find it an enjoyable read. This is my second novel, and I am in the process of writing my third, but first ... a little bit of info about myself. I was born in Geelong, Australia, in 1954, making me 63 at the time of writing. When I was 4 my family moved to the small, beachside town of Portarlington. The house had a milk bar/grocery shop attached at the front, just as described in my first novel, 'Six Skene Street'.
I loved living there, and being number six out of seven kids I had a lot freedom; spending most of my time at the beach. We moved back to Geelong about 7 years later. Now divorced, I have three adorable grandchildren, and am once more residing in Geelong. Although I've had no formal training, I've always loved writing, and thought that 'one day' I'd like to write a book. Several years ago I wrote four 100 word short stories and submitted them to the Geelong Advertiser.
Three were published so I felt I must have SOME writing talent, so I decided to start writing 'the book'. Many moons later 'Six Skene Street' was completed. After many people asked me when I was going to write another one, I put pen to paper ... or actually, fingers to keyboard ... and finally completed 'A New And Different Life'. I've made a start on my next novel and hope to have it completed by the end of 2019.
In my spare time (when not babysitting!) I love to write, have coffee with friends, paint abstracts, have coffee with friends, draw zentangles ... and did I mention having coffee with friends? :)I would love to hear your feedback regarding either of my novels, so if you feel inclined you can contact me at:alisonmorantauthor@gmail.com orwww.facebook.com/alisonmorantauthorCheers, Alison.
