Zoe Alley

Zoë B. Alley is the author of two multi-starred books of re-invented fairy tales, There’s a Wolf at the Door, a Washington Post Best Book of the Year and its companion book There’s a Princess in the Palace, both presented in an over-sized graphic panel format and illustrated by R.W. Alley.

In her own words, “Having grown-up in a family of “literary grammarians”, I have always been interested in words, recited and written. From an early age in Natick, Massachusetts, I participated in both theatre and music-related events, finishing up a whirlwind career in my early teens as a perpetual chorus member! I have, however, learned to deal with this fateful blow. I rallied, and am at long last thrilled to call myself an “Author” and see my words in print with the publication of “There’s a Wolf at the Door”! I enjoy writing for being, among other things, a career that allows me to sit on the couch – my office! -- in my pajamas and play with a pen and paper! Before writing full-time, I worked in the health care industry. School-wise, I received my B.A. from the University of New Hampshire, and my Ed.M. from Boston University.”
