Who's behind OMIFA?
Me! I’m Alicia Forest…
I write contemporary women’s fiction with a focus on small town relationships. I also dabble in the mystical, just for kicks.
I’ve considered myself to be a writer since – well, since forever. I taught myself to read before I started Kindergarten because I desperately wanted to get lost inside “The Cat in the Hat”. What magical things words were then – and they became my escape as I grew. But more about that later… I took the very long way around to claiming my deep desire to become a novelist.
While I got my undergrad degree in English, I was also pre-law – not so much for me, but for my Dad’s dream of being my becoming a lawyer. I worked as a paralegal for a few years, where I quickly discovered it was most definitely not for me, moved on to teaching 7-12 grade English, quickly discovered that wasn’t for me, and then jumped around from being a preschool teacher, junior activities director, loan processor (🥱), to finally landing a job at my alma mater as the public relations director – which was the longest working-for-someone-else stint I ever had before being downsized 22 months in.
That’s when I decided to… pursue my writing career?
Nope. I started my 23-year career as an online business coach. 🤓 That career allowed me to never miss a moment of our kids growing up while contributing financially to our family… but it was never a passion.
Now that our oldest is in college and our youngest is close behind, I’m finally coming back to the thing I’ve always wanted to do – write.
Meanwhile, I’m taking my 23 years of experience and expertise in online marketing to help aspiring and seasoned indie fiction authors reach more readers and sell more stories.

I’m excited to meet you and hope you’ll jump into OMIFA so I can help you too!
