Meet Hayley

Hayley Price has always been a storyteller. Throughout her life, she has told her story through songs as the principal songwriter in several bands, most recently Adventures With Alice, whose songs feature in many of her books.

In 2023, Hayley brought her creative talent to bear on her debut novel, The Vermilion Ribbon. This moody sapphic novel blends elements of fantasy, romance and adventure into a gripping tale of betrayal, vengeance and love with a thrilling climax that will leave you breathless.

A New Zealander, Hayley currently lives in Canberra, Australia with her long-time partner and a grumpy, bossy cat called Rosie. She loves baseball and suffers eternal torture as a fan of the San Francisco Giants. Music has been a major part of her life, and outside of her own compositions, she is an enormous fan of Christopher Cross as well as Daryl Hall & John Oates and underrated 80s UK prog-rock band Voyager, who once named her their #1 fan.
