Hanged Woman Gulch was the result of a family reunion in northern Nebraska. A story developed from the loan of a book on vigilantes in the early days of Nebraska statehood.

Locally, Wisconsin, Beyond the Rock was written starting with the area where Alice lives, Lake Koshkonong, and proceeded to Colorado.

Secret Gamble started out with a villain from another story who became so well liked his name got changed and he became the hero of a different book.

Alice participated in Tales From The Treasure Trove, Volume 1 which won the 2006 EPPIE Award for Best Anthology. Alice's story, "The Best Kind of Opals" is about a matchmaking mama who thinks her sons should be married.
