Hi, I’m Alia.

A woman with shoulder-length brown hair, wearing glasses, dressed in a black blouse, standing outdoors in front of green foliage.

Author, Editor, and Literary Adventurer.

I’m an agented author with a master’s degree in writing and publishing from DePaul University and a debut on submission in 2026. I’ve been editing since 2013 but writing and loving mysteries since the late twentieth century—I also love history, particularly historical dress!

Literary Citizenship

I’m the president of the Michigan chapter of Sisters in Crime, and a proud member of the Author’s Guild, the Editorial Freelancer’s Association, the Association of Dress Historians, the Costume Society of America, and the Costume and Textile Association.
