Alina Voyce
Alina Voyce is a wife, the mother of two adults (at least, that's what the law calls them - but they're fighting it), and has lived in East Yorkshire, England, for her entire life. It's an area she's proud to call 'home'.
Naturally creative, she's an author, an artist, and enjoys baking and decorating cakes for her family and friends. She's also a keen observer of the world around her, and has a passion for music that ranges from classical, to country, to rock.
Alina has been writing since her early teens (mostly stories for the children she babysat for and, later, her own children). Then, five years ago, she joined an online authors' site. She found people there who not only helped her to hone her skills, but enjoyed her work. After a while, she was coming runner-up/winning the monthly challenge competitions run by the same site, and her confidence started to grow...
Now, though she continues to write as Alina Voyce (a pseudonym), she also uses her own name 'Sue Grainger' to explore the world of 'Betty Sue' through a collection of short stories. These are completely different in style and content to those she writes as Alina. However, ALL her stories are a mesh of ideas generated by who she is and who she imagines herself being as part of the plot; the world is a fascinating place, and the people she meets a constant source of inspiration. The story ideas just keep on coming...

Personal Anecdotes: As with most ideas, Lifelights was inspired by something simple.
Early one morning, as I sat drinking my first coffee of the day, sunlight hit a crystal ornament on the kitchen window ledge. Suddenly, the walls and ceiling were covered in prismatic flashes of colour.
It was as I watched these, enjoying the light display and marvelling at how an energy form can be transformed so easily, that I began to wonder what would happen if those flashes of colour were 'alive'... and so, the Lifelights were born.
