About me:

I write teen books. I teach high school. I'm a night person. I like ghost stories. I sometimes wonder if I have ADD, but I think I'm just easily bored. I am amazed by the insightful words on your pages.

RAVEN:

Zin dances with fire in every step, speaks in a honey-sweet voice, and sees with eyes that can peer into your soul. Nicole's friendship with him is the only thing that saves her from the boredom of school and the turmoil of her family life. It's no wonder she is madly in love with him. But she can't understand why he keeps her at a distance, even though she can feel his soul reaching out for hers.

Zin is like no man Nicole has ever met, and he carries with him a very old secret. When Nicole uncovers the truth, her love may be the only thing that can save him from it.

EXCERPT:

"The door that was always closed is opening, and I am consumed. I don't know if a full minute goes by that I don't think of him, that I don't replay how it felt to have his hand brush mine, his eyes look my way.

And yet he's hiding, still. He talks as if my feelings for him are in the past, as if they couldn't possibly be relevant now that I now the truth about him. But I don't have that kind of power over how I feel. And if he doesn't know that, he's blind."

STREET PHARM:

Book Description:
Ty Johnson knows survival. Since inheriting his pop's business at sixteen, Ty's developed smarts, skills, and mad discipline. The supply game's in his blood. And life is pretty sweet when you're on top.

But one slip - or one serious competitor - and life turns ugly fast. Suddenly, Ty's got to rethink his whole strategy. And for the number one dealer on the streets, strategy is not just about staying ahead. It's about survival.

You can read the first chapter on my website.

SNITCH:

Book Description:
In a school run by gangs, staying out was harder than joining. We knew who our friends were, and were careful what we said. If people thought we were haters, it would only be a matter of time....

Lines are clearly marked at South Bay High School. It's mixed territory for the Crips and the Bloods, which means the drama never stops.

Julia DiVino wants none of it. No colors, no C-Walks -- it's just not her thing.

But when Eric Valienté jumps into her life, everything changes. Lines are redrawn. And then they're crossed.
Who I'd like to meet:
Readers, writers, friends, and all of my students!

Oh my gosh ! I read all of your books finally <3
I can not figure out which is my favorite.
You are THE best author ever !
It takes a lot just to get my attention;;
And your books just end up grabbing it and I read nonstop.
Then when i'm finished I get upset because I finished.
Keep it up and hopefully there will be more in the future :D

Hi there Allison!
I got your book Raven! And I tried to keep it for when I was going on my trip up north to see my college for next year but the temptation was too great. Well I'm currently on the trip and I just finished it last night - I had to force myself to stop, I have a problem of reading and reading, never stopping and then the book it over and I wanted to pull it out as long as I can but I finished it last night.
I love it! I know for sure that I will for sure be reading it more than once - I'm so glad I bought it.
Wonderful, amazing book - Loved every moment of it and the detail of Nic's love for Zin really made me start to love him too ^_^
Congradulations on your release of Raven - I wish you all the best. Are you planning out new books?
I'm Nobody! Who are you?
