Author Information

I was born in Bloomington, Indiana, in December 1993. As a child, I always loved to read, particularly series such as The Babysitters' Club and The Boxcar Children. I also always had quite the imagination, and was always writing stories of my own inside my head. I used to tell some of these stories to my brother, and even now we remember bits and pieces of the ludicrous plots I came up with. I first began writing down some of my stories when I was nine, in the form of a mystery series about a girl named Doylie Dot. As my writing matured over the years, I switched from folded-over pieces of printing paper to spiral-bound notebooks, and from 6-page stories about nine-year-olds catching burglars to longer, more detailed novels about various aspects of life. Most of my novels are still in the works for now, but I am excited to have released the third volume in my Allisen's Notebooks series! Two more books from that series (as well as several e-shorts) are planned to be released between 2016 and 2017, and during that time I will be working on other novels as well. I tend to write primarily realistic fiction, although some of my non-series books may include elements of mystery and/or suspense. I still enjoy reading, when I have the time. My favorite authors include Karen Kingsbury, Margaret Peterson Haddix, and J.K. Rowling. Aside from reading and writing, I enjoy singing, spending time outside, and being with my family and friends. I am very involved in my church, where I teach kindergarten Sunday school and participate in various drama opportunities. During the week, I work as a paraprofessional in a middle school, primarily with eighth graders, and I just recently earned my Master's degree in Learning Disabilities. My goal is to become a general or special educator at either the elementary or middle school level.
