Alissa Baxter was born in South Africa, and grew up with her nose in a book on a poultry farm in Mpumalanga. After school and university, where she majored in Political Science and French, she started writing her first novel, The Dashing Debutante.
Alissa then moved to Switzerland before joining Emirates Airline as a flight attendant. When her stint with the airline was over, Alissa traveled to London and did an odd assortment of jobs, while researching her second historical novel. She returned to Durban nine months later, and wrote Lord Fenmore's Wager. Alissa then moved to Cape Town where she wrote her third novel, Send and Receive, and worked as a publicist for a local TV station, before moving to Johannesburg, where she currently lives.
