About Ally

Ally Stirling is a Fiction writer of Scottish origin, currently living in Cape Town with her braveheart husband, awesome children, the happiest dog in the world, and her menacing cat (aka ‘Devil Cat’)

An unexpected gift resulting in a prophetic message prompted Ally to give her passion for writing the time it screamed for, and in 2018 she joined Cathy Eden’s Working With Words writers group. She credits the love, support, and inspiration of this group of talented women, her ‘writing tribe’ for encouraging her to put words on paper. She also joined the Romance Writer’s Organization of South Africa (ROSA) and while Romance is not her genre, this association has been an invaluable source of knowledge and insight into the indie publishing world.

Allowing her imagination the freedom to roam resulted in various short stories, before one in particular rooted itself, evolving into her first full-length novel. This book has now become the third in a series, sitting patiently while she completed the first and is now getting stuck into the second. Who knew her characters would be so demanding?

Her love of writing fiction stems from her belief that it transports you to wonderful places when life gets too real.

Addicted to her friends, coffee, every colour of wine, and any type of chocolate, she describes her clan as the family and friends who have built her castle and keep her sane, without whom she’d be short on humour and drinking games.
