Surrey born, Ali Carter lives in North Norfolk with her husband, a retired Met. Police Officer who is a great help in assuring legalities in her books are as accurate as possible, but up to date research is also regularly undertaken.
She used to write poetry in the 80s and 90s attracting some publishing and competition successes, but 'Blood List,' released in October 2018, was her first novel. The sequel, 'Dead Girls Don't Cry' followed in February 2020, and the third in the series, 'The Delegate,' was released in January 2023. A fourth, (prequel to Blood List) 'Fire & Ice,' is on a slow burn.... (pun intended!!)
Her writing day is usually accompanied by a few of her far too many dogs and cats that seem to find their way into her not exactly gigantic study, but the company is welcomed as writing can be a pretty isolating occupation at times. However, there is a regular overspill into the lounge where she tends to also write late at night when the house is quiet.
Her passion is definitely murder (and cake!), but she has an equal interest in natural health topics and a fun approach to life! Now she is finally living up on the Norfolk Broads, a lifelong desire, she also gets to spend a lot more time with her family too.
'Blood List' is still available as an E-Book on Amazon, and in paperback directly from the author, or at one of her North Norfolk events - a reprint was commissioned in September 2022.
'Dead Girls Don't Cry' is also still available directly from the author or at one of her North Norfolk events and will shortly be available as an e-book. (July 2023)
'The Delegate' is available as a paperback to order from all good bookshops, currently in stock at Roy's of Wroxham department store, directly from the author, or at one of her North Norfolk events.

The Broads really are beautiful all year round, with cottages and boating holidays always popular - no better place to let go, relax, and read a great thriller!! - Ali x
