About

Hi, I'm Ali.

Currently deep in drafting a dark, glamorous thriller set in the world of chartered yachts and high fashion — the kind of book where sex trafficking operates just beneath a gorgeous surface, and where the women caught in its wake are neither fully victims nor fully villains.

This newsletter is what happens alongside the novel: word counts, research rabbit holes, half-formed theories, the occasional breakthrough, the more frequent stuck week.
