Alex Gutteridge

Alex Gutteridge is the award-winning author of 13 books for children and young adults. These include Last Chance Angel, No Going Back, and Oven Chips for Tea, which was broadcast on the radio.

Alex has always loved reading and writing and is a passionate believer in the restorative power of books. She believes that books have the ability to inspire, encourage, comfort and console and that the right book at the right time is a friend to treasure.

Alex lives in a small English village with her family, rescue cat Maisie and bouncy cocker spaniel Audrey. Her favourite day involves writing in the morning, gardening and walking the dog in the afternoon and a big bowl of crisps in the evening.

One of Alex's favourite holidays was a visit to New England in The Fall. One day she would like to come back and see a Moose in the wild, visit the singing sands beach near Rockport as well as the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, all of which she missed last time around.

Alex loves to hear from her readers. You can get in touch via her Facebook Author page or on Twitter at AlexGutteridge1.

Her latest novel for teens and young adults, A Fresh Start, is available as an eBook now.
