At the age of eighteen Alice had been awarded a tennis scholarship to America when she experienced pain in her right hand. It was rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and she hasn’t picked up a tennis racket since, a sadness that shall always be with her. The theme of disability features in her fiction, but there is nothing gloomy about Alice or her work. Rather this gives her fiction the added dimension of true poignancy.

“Being with the wrong person is even more lonely than being on your own.”
Alice Peterson, Monday to Friday Man

“I think attractive single men must hide underground.”
Alice Peterson, Monday to Friday Man

“I didn’t realise how exhausting it is to miss someone. It’s a full-time job. A job that never ends. Loneliness makes me want to curl up in a ball, and stay like this, forever.”
