Allison Rogers
Allison Rogers began creating stories at a young age. She and her brother would sit cross-legged for hours, immersed in their made-up worlds and multidimensional characters. Since then, Allison has always been a sucker for tragic outsiders, a sardonic sense of humor, and absorbing portrayals of growing up. Now, as an adult, she has moved on from daydreaming to writing YA novels. Allison lives in New England with her husband. They share an allergy to cats and dogs, which most people find heartbreaking, but also kind of romantic.
