Cover Reveal Today - THE CHOICE

    About the book: How do you heal from your past when you're still trapped within it? I lost myself the night of the party. Just like that, my innocence and my sanity were torn away.

Nobody told me what to expect in the coming days and weeks and months after conceiving a rapist's child. Years later, my wounds are still just as fresh as the night they were made. It would be so easy to disappear and allow the memories to consume me. But that's the choice, isn't it? To live instead. **This book contains rape triggers. Discretion is advised.           About the author: Allison was born and raised in the mountains of Oregon, birthed of the crisp, clean air and rainy forests.

    Where did the idea for A Neophyte’s Tale come from?   After writing book one in the Netherwalker Series ~ Cloak of Shadows, a lot of people really wanted to know more about Abbey Thorne’s past and where she came from. And I have to admit, I was one of them too. I wanted to dig deep into that grimy place she came from and scoop her out of it almost like a protective parent. So I decided to listen to Abbey more intently when she spoke to me and let her tell her story. The result was the short story A Neophyte’s Tale the prequel to the entire Netherwalker Series. I think it gives greater insight into a neophyte’s experiences versus a sheltered privileged kid would have growing up in The King’s Court that readers were craving.   Where do you get your inspiration from to write such strong female leads and who are you more like Abbey Thorne or Lourdes Reese?   Some author friends of mine asked me this very same question after reading both Cloak of Shadows and A Neophyte’s Tale a

    Where did the idea for Macyn’s Letter come from?   I originally started writing Macyn’s Letter as a fiction blog in 2008, although it was simply named Macyn McIntyre. I had no direction when I started writing. All I did was write, and as the ideas came to me, I allowed my fingers to lead the way. I was surprised as much as my readers with each post.   What are you working on right now?   I’m currently working on a four book standalone series about four sisters who own a bar and moonlight as hitmen/assassins.   Have you ever had an imaginary friend?   Yes and no...My imaginary friend was Marsha Brady. My mom said I’d play with Marsha for hours under our kitchen table. I don’t remember playing with her, but I do know she was my favorite from the Brady Bunch...Marsha, Marsha, Marsha   How did you meet your husband?   My hubby and I worked together in the automotive field. We saw each other on a daily basis, but we never really spoke to each other. I actually first spo
