Alison, 41, who lives in Wymeswold with her husband Dan and three-year-old son Arthur, said that she had been overwhelmed to be nominated and was pleased to receive a leather-bound copy of her book, awarded all six authors on the shortlist.
The former PA at Lakeside Arts Centre in Nottingham said: “It’s been a huge honour and surprise to get so far.
“It has been fantastic, a wonderful experience and a real adventure.”
Alison had just started writing her second book when The Lighthouse was put forward by the publishers Salt.
