Alice K. Boatwright is the award-winning author of COLLATERAL DAMAGE (Standing Stone Books, 2012).

Alice is also the author of dozens of short stories published in journals such as the Mississippi review, Stone Canoe, and Storyglossia and the popular Ellie Kent mysteries. The first in this series, UNDER AN ENGLISH HEAVEN, won the 2016 Mystery and Mayhem Grand Prize for best mystery; and the sequel, WHAT CHILD IS THIS?, was published in 2017.

Alice studied writing as an undergraduate at Syracuse University and received an MFA in writing fiction from Columbia University.
