Having failed at becoming a ballerina with pierced ears (her childhood dream), Allison Rushby/Alli Kincaid instead began a writing career as a journalism student at The University of Queensland. Within a few months she had slunk sideways into studying Russian. By the end of her degree she had learnt two very important things: that she wasn't going to be a journalist; and that there are hundreds of types of vodka and they're all pretty good.
A number of years spent freelancing for numerous wedding magazines ('Getting on with your draconian mother-in-law made simple!', 'A 400 guest reception for $2.95 per head!') almost sent her crazy. After much whingeing about how hard it would be, she began her first novel. That is, her husband (then boyfriend) told her to shut up, sit down and get typing. Since then, Allison has had eight novels published, five for adults and three for young adults. These novels include the best-selling allmenarebastards.com and the popular young adult Living Blonde trilogy. Her latest novel, The Inner Gentleman, a story of wayward football stars and unwanted gentlemanly makeovers, has been released under the pseudonym Alli Kincaid.
These days Allison/Alli writes full-time, mostly with her cats, Vi and Flo, purring contentedly on her lap and her two children, Ivy and Teddy, playing quietly with educational toys on the floor (she wishes!). She keeps up her university education by sampling new kinds of vodka on a regular basis.
