Originally from Yorkshire, Alison Manning now lives in the West Midlands with her husband and three children. After a long break from writing, being sidetracked by other things, she started writing more again from the beginning of lockdown in 2020. She had a poem, “Lady Godiva in Lockdown”, published in a Coventry lockdown anthology in 2020. In 2021 she wrote a commissioned poem for The Show Windows, part of Coventry City of Culture, in 2021, and in 2022 has had a poetry film, Circle Cycle, featured in two film festivals and on the BBC (radio). World Without Endless Sheep is her first book for children, but she is also working on a rhyming story for younger children. She also writes a blog or two. Her spare time is spent on church and community activities, reading, walking and trying to grow lemons. She has recently diversified into limes.
