Stories of all kinds enthralled Allison M. Azulay when she was a child, starting with fairy tales read aloud by her parents and then Nancy Drew Mysteries discovered in the one-room schoolhouse she attended in her early grades. Since that time, she has devoured everything from romance and historical drama, to mysteries and crime thrillers, to chick lit and science fiction.
Though she wrote tales of her own in her youth, "adulting" put a damper on her creativity awhile. Later, encouraged by her husband, she explored her talents and now writes novels and short stories.
"I try to give readers the sorts of thrills I get reading books by Diana Gabaldon and Tom Clancy, Jack Whyte and Louise Penny."
