Alnpete Press is pleased to announce a new Alison Buck novel
Female Line
“Alison
Buck is an exciting and strong new voice in modern fiction.
Although her stories feature powerful insights and express a
female perspective on important issues and concerns
they successfully speak to readers of all genders, ages and beliefs.
Dark, psychological drama, mixed with wit and delivered with a light touch
that makes you care about the hopes and dreams of her characters.”
