Mary Alice Monroe, also published as Mary Alice Kruesi, is a New York Times best-selling fiction writer. Many of her novels deal with environmental issues; For example, The Beach House and Swimming Lessons refer to the plight of injured sea turtles.[1][2]

Her recent novel, Time is a River, is about breast cancer survivors in a fly-fishing group in North Carolina, and Last Light Over Carolinadescribes the life and times of the shrimping industry.[4] Monroe received the 2008 Award for Writing from the South Carolina Center for the Book.
