E. H. Alger

E. H. Alger grew up in Melbourne, Australia. After graduating in art and design she went on to a career as an artist and freelance book illustrator, also writing and illustrating an acclaimed children’s book, ‘Bertie at the Horse Show’ (Penguin).
Her first novel, ‘Winterhued’, published in November 2018, is an epic fantasy tale set in a medieval world. Complete with mythical beasts, vast castles and courageous knights, it is the fantasy she had always wanted to read but could never quite find.
With a passion for history and adventure, Alger has travelled widely and voyaged the world’s oceans aboard seven sailing ships including the great Russian four-masted barques, Kruzenshtern and Sedov.
A horsewoman, animal lover and animal-rights campaigner, she lives in rural Victoria surrounded by rescued animals, including ex-battery hens, roosters, cats, dogs, six horses and a Brahman bull.
