About Alyssa-Ray
Alyssa-Ray Bouman is a wife, mom, Christian, and licensed cosmetology teacher who somehow manages to juggle it all while chasing her toddler around their family farm in New Jersey.
Before diving into writing, she worked as a substance abuse counselor. She loves weaving heart, humor, and a touch of chaos into her writing, creating characters and narratives that feel real and relatable. Her stories contain themes such as small-town romance, best friend’s brother, love triangles, mental health representation, cancer/caretaker representation, and more.
She also writes about complicated topics that shed light on depression, pregnancy, abuse, grief, postpartum experiences, PTSD, and more. She believes it’s important to normalize these conversations and create a safe space to process and share these experiences.
When she’s not writing, she’s off on adventures with her husband, playing with their son, attempting to drink a hot cup of coffee, or trying to read a book. Her time living in the Adirondacks has inspired her to bring the beauty of nature and life’s messy, meaningful moments into her stories. With the support of those who love her, she always finds a way to craft the next chapter. Because in her world, life and storytelling are one big adventure.
