Who am I? What place is this?

Hello my name is Alison Wells. I'm a writer of literary fiction and as A.B. Wells comic sci-fi. I'm a mum of four. I've been shortlisted in the Hennessy New Irish Writing, Bridport & Fish awards for short stories and am a resident blogger with the Irish National Writing Website www.writing.ie

Here I blog about writing and headspace and do interviews with busy people who write. I also post my short fiction. My favourite mode of transport is the TARDIS.
