[Alyson]

Hi,

1. My name is Alyson.

2. I write YA and Erotica, although I haven't published any yet. I'm a little nervous. I read a variety of genres--whatever I come across that just "feels right".

3. Last book I read was "The Library at Mount Char" by Scott Hawkins. I thought it was amazing. I couldn't put it down. The only reason I wouldn't recommend it is because it's one of those books that makes you wish there was a sequel, but there isn't, and then you have to mourn the loss of the characters.

4. Interesting fact? Well, I don't know about interesting but, I have an 18 month old daughter, so my only internet/writing time is when she is asleep. She is already an avid reader, we go through about 40 board books a day. I have a B.A. from UCLA in philosophy and religious studies. I also have a dog named Otter who does actually look like an Otter.

So... Hi =)
