Bruce, Alison

Alison Bruce

Alison Bruce has a degree in history and philosophy, which has nothing to do with any regular job she`s held since. A liberal arts education did prepare her to be a writer, however. She penned her first novel during lectures while pretending to take notes.

Alison writes mysteries, romance, westerns and fantasy. Her protagonists are marked by their strength of character, the ability to adapt (sooner or later) to new situations and to learn from adversity. Under A Texas Star is her first published novel.

Copywriter and editor since 1992, Alison currently manages publications for Crime Writers Canada and is a volunteer with Action Read Family Literacy Centre. A single mother, she lives in Guelph, Ontario with her two children, Kate and Sam.

Set in 2018, Alison Bruce has a created an intelligent plot in an intriguing environment..." Debra Purdy Kong, author of Deadly Accusations
	Under A Texas Star, Imajin Books, May 2011 “Bruce is a terrific story-teller...a complete joy to read. She immerses readers into a smoking Western that is also a spunky romance...” Christina Francine, Midwest Book Review As  El Paso Trail, Under A Texas Star was shortlisted in the 2010 Text Novel Contest.
