Alex Nye

Alex Nye is a children's author, published by Floris. She has been writing for many years and is inspired by the Scottish landscape and history. She describes herself as the most Scottish Englishwoman in Children's Fiction. Her first novel CHILL was inspired by a bleak winter she spent living in a very remote cottage next to a large old mansion reputed to be haunted by battleground ghosts. It won the Scottish Children's Book of the Year Award in 2007, and was followed by the sequel SHIVER. Her third novel DARKER ENDS was launched in the Mitchell Library Theatre, Glasgow to an audience of 400, who were suitably terrified by the ghostly performance - in darkness, with sounds and images to haunt. Alex's third book is set in Glencoe and touches on the dark events of 1692 (the Glencoe Massacre), but is a contemporary tale of two children waiting in an inn for their parents to come home. As the snow falls, they wait with mounting dread... and when a stranger crashes his car in the river and knocks on their door for shelter, the long night darkens? All is not what it seems...
