Alyson Sheldrake - Author


I am a self-published author of eight books to date. My animal memoir, Kat the Dog: The remarkable tale of a rescued Spanish water dog, is a multi-award winning bestseller on both sides of the Atlantic. My new release, The Rainbow Bridge, is my first foray into fantasy fiction.


The Algarve Dream Series includes Living the Dream - in the Algarve, Portugal, and the sequel Living the Quieter Algarve Dream and tells the story of our move to live in Portugal. Book three, A New Life in the Algarve, Portugal, introduces you to more people who have made the Algarve their home.


I am also the curator of the Travel Stories Series of anthologies, featuring almost fifty different travel memoir authors all sharing their adventures with you.
