ABOUT
Born in the sixties to an Indian mother and an English jazz musician father, Alison McQueen grew up in London. After a convent education, Alison worked in advertising for twenty years before retiring to write full time. In 2006, Alison was selected from an impressive long list to join The Writers' Circle – a group of 8 top writers chosen to be groomed by the UK film industry as the new generation of British screenwriters. She is also author of a popular series of novels (published by Macmillan) under a pseudonym.
Her family story is one of the inspirations behind The Secret Children. Alison lives in rural Northamptonshire with her husband and two daughters. She retains close ties with India and visits as often as she can.
