A little about Alice E Johnson

Alice E. Johnson is a published historical fiction and epic fantasy author with a decade of writing experience. She is based in Nottinghamshire, where her research into local archives, the Bloody Code, and early industrial England informs her work.

​

Her historical fiction focuses on the Regency and Georgian eras — examining cycles of trauma, moral complexity, and survival among those failed by the systems meant to protect them. Her epic fantasy explores similar themes through darker, more expansive worlds.

​

Her research draws on Nottingham's local archives, period medical texts including William Buchan's Domestic Medicine, court records, and primary sources from the early industrial period.

​

She is currently developing THE LION'S CHAMBER, a six-season historical drama series set in 1810s Nottingham. The project draws on years of research into the city's hidden history, its justice system, and the lives lived at the margins of society. Season One is complete as a full screenplay, with all six seasons mapped in detail.

​

Alice has appeared on BBC local radio discussing historical topics and the craft of bringing the past to life on the page. In 2019, she was awarded the title of Lady by her local council in recognition of her community work establishing Clifton Craft Market, a non-profit organisation supporting local businesses, mental health initiatives, and accessibility.

Her novels are scheduled for republication in January 2025.

​

Her work operates on the principle that morally grey characters and unflinching honesty create stories that resonate long after the final page.

​

When not writing, she can usually be found researching obscure historical details or insisting that everyone around her should read more.
