Allie fell in love with books from the moment she was issued her very first "Sally, Dick and Jane" reader. Born and raised in Alabama, she now resides in sunny Florida with her own blue-eyed Prince Charming and two fat, obnoxious housecats. When she's not busy obsessing over the lexicon of her latest project, she can usually be found watching B-movie horror (the cheesier, the better), working at her family-owned print shop or playing online RPG games while indulging her unhealthy Pepsi addiction.
