Josie Alder

Josie Alder grew up inland in Southern California, where a day at the beach meant packing the car early and staying until the towels were full of sand. She moved closer to the coast in her twenties and began writing at the same small kitchen table where she eats dinner, pays bills and keeps a leaning stack of secondhand paperbacks.

She writes love stories about desire, trust and the moment a careful woman decides to take a risk.

Josie lives alone near the coast and writes in the evenings after work. At the Waterline is her debut romance.
