Alison Booth began writing fiction as a child, abandoned it in her twenties and returned to writing short – and     infrequent - stories in the late 1990s. Her first novel, Stillwater Creek, was published in January 2010, and was followed in 2011 by The Indigo Sky, and in 2012 by A Distant Land. All three novels have been published by Random House Australia, and they form what has become known as The Jingera Trilogy.

Born in Melbourne and brought up in Sydney, Alison obtained her PhD from the London School of Economics in 1984. After two decades living and working in the UK, she returned to Australia in 2002. She is married with two daughters, and is Professor of Economics at the Australian National University and an ANU Public Policy Fellow.
