Alta lives on the foggy coast of Oregon with her husband, two daughters, and a pair of dogs who think they’re in charge. When she’s not writing redemption for the irredeemable, she’s walking the coastline or sipping craft beer in eccentric little bars that feel like they belong in her books.

My work has led me into writing about social justice and climate change. After working on three books on those themes, the latest is a children's book with a child's perspective on the 2020 lockdown. It makes children laugh and adults cry - in a good way, apparently.
