Alicia Marie is a 37 year-old author and mother of three daughters, born and raised in a small town in Massachusetts. Her writing is deeply rooted in personal experience, drawing strength and inspiration from surviving toxic and abusive relationships. The Illusion of Us is her debut novel a raw and emotional exploration of love, betrayal, and the illusions we cling to in search of connection.

Through her stories, Alicia gives voice to the silent struggles many endure behind closed doors, creating characters that are both flawed and fiercely human. She hopes her work empowers others to recognize their worth, reclaim their voice, and find healing through honesty and storytelling.
