About the author

Alice MacGowan was the daughter of John Encil MacGowan and Malvina Marie Johnson. The family moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where her sister Grace was born.Alice was educated in public schools in addition to being home schooled by her father, a Colonel with the Union Army during the American Civil War and editor of the Chattanooga Times from 1872–1903. She was living with her sister at Upton Sinclair's Helicon Home Colony in 1907 when it burned to the ground. Both were taken to Englewood Hospital to recover.

She became a writer of short stories and novels, while collaborating with her sister Grace on most of her works.

In 1908, the MacGowan sisters and their mother moved to the semi-remote colony of artists and literati at Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, which included such influential figures as Mary Hunter Austin, Jack London, Upton Sinclair, George Sterling, Francis McComas, Xavier Martinez, Sinclair Lewis, and Nora May French.[

Alice actively supported various local charities as well as the Carmel Arts & Crafts Club, and fought the removal of village trees, the paving of the quaint gravel streets and all “encroachments . . . of an advancing civilization.”[

Carmel proved to be a writer's paradise and Alice produced several best sellers. She co-authored five detective stories with the one-time mayor of Carmel, Perry Newberry. Their runaway success, “Two by Two”, was serialized in the Saturday Evening Post and was published in 1922 by Stokes in New York under the title “The Million Dollar Suitcase.”

The sisters stopped writing together for a while, but resumed collaboration with The Straight Road (1917) and The Trail of the Little Wagon. But the sisters novels became less popular during the Great Depression, and in 1935 they sold their house in Carmel and moved to Los Gatos, California with Grace's daughter, Katherine. Alice died there in 1947 at age 89.
