Alex Brown was born in Brighton, Sussex and ran away to London when she left school at sixteen, where she found the streets she lived on for a while weren’t paved with gold. After twenty years working in a variety of jobs as a live-in nanny, cinema usher, T-shirt printer, telephone operator, bank cashier and sat-nav voice recorder, Alex started writing and found she couldn’t stop.
In 2006 she won a competition to write the weekly City Girl column for the London Paper and her first novel, Cupcakes At Carrington’s, was published in 2013.
Now living on the Kent coast, with her husband, daughter, and two very glossy black Labradors, Alex is working on her eleventh book. When she isn’t writing, Alex enjoys knitting, watching Disney films with her daughter and going to Northern Soul nights, and is passionate about supporting charities working with care leavers, adoption and vulnerable young people.
