Alice Flanagan is a Sydney based author and mother of two. Following graduation from university, her career path was far from that of a writer and included several years as a teacher, then a career as a computer programmer and business analyst. Faced with the many challenges and emotions that go hand in hand with raising children as a single parent she was drawn, once again, to her own childhood and the desire to write. Her writing is inspired from her own life experiences, coupled with a strong desire, as a parent, to ensure our children's future. Ecstasy is her second novel. Her first, Raindance, was published in 2006.
