Hello, and welcome!

I'm a writer/teacher/archaeologist/jack-of-all-trades. My latest book Lightning Tracks is a dark YA alternative history/fantasy novel set in Australia. You can read an extract on my website. I've also got a little educational textbook about Australian archaeology, Ancient Australia Unearthed.

I'm halfway through a Creative Writing PhD, and I sometimes teach in the School of Education at La Trobe University and host writing and archaeology workshops for kids and teachers.

I love to hear from readers, so feel free to get in touch, ask a question, or leave a comment! You can connect with me on social media @aletheakinsela. Cheerio! ...more
