Alison Lloyd (Author)
Alison Lloyd loves history - both the big sweep of events and the
little details of how people lived. Her favourite stories are about
people's deep feelings - hope and despair, loyalty and betrayal,
love and loss. Put these things together in a book and she can't
put it down. That's why she wrote her first novel Year of the
Tiger, and it's sequel Battle of the Jade Horse. She is also the
author of the CBCA shortlisted non-fiction -Wicked Warriors and
Evil Emperors - and the Letty books in the Australian Girl series.
Before she wrote Year of the Tiger, Alison worked for the
Australian Government, in the Department of Foreign Affairs and
Trade. Alison lives in Melbourne with her family.
