About this author

After living in New England for the first twelve years of my life, my family moved to Florida and never looked back. I spent many years in Orlando and then moved to Tampa, where am now with my wonderful husband of eighteen years and two teen boys.

I began writing Passion Fish after having a very vivid dream (basically the Passion Fish bar game chapters). When I couldn't figure out where the story should go from there, I 'hooked up' (sorry, fish pun) with Jessica McQuinn, plot queen extraordinaire, and together we created the novel.

Now that it's complete, I'm actively working on my next novel, a story that mixes international intrigue with humor, plot twists, and lots of romance. It's based on some real events of people I know who have had li...more


I finally got around to creating a FaceBook page. Yay! Thank heavens the technology required is simple enough for people like me to figure out. read more »

The story was intriguing -- what WOULD I do if it appeared that my adopted child may be someone who was kidnapped? Over all the book was OK. Some chapters were, no lie, less than a page long -- the book had 95 chapters! As a writer, I found that I sc...more
Alison Oburia is on page 52 of 337 of Look Again: So far, I'm a bit distracted by the length of the chapters -- one chapter was only 3 PARAGRAPHS long, taking up less than half a page. As an author, I tend to compare other writers' styles to mine and, to be honest, I'm not that impressed with Scottoline's (or her editor's work).
