Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Alison now lives in Southern Nevada where she’s finally acclimated to the blistering summers, but still finds the slot machines in grocery stores and gas stations rather odd.

When not working at the day job that pays the bills, keeps a roof over her head, and supports her book and chocolate habits, Alison spends most of her free time writing. But when she takes a break, she enjoys reading, watching movies, redecorating her house, and spending time with family and friends.
