edit data

Alison Diem is a writer of intricate stories involving history, the paranormal, adventure, magic, mystery, murder, fantasy, steampunk, creatures that may (or may not) be real and any combination thereof. Also, dragons.

She admires the work of many and has learned much from every book she’s ever read, even the really, really bad ones. Especially the really, really bad ones.

She does not like Twilight. At all.

She is also very, very tall. You know, for a girl.
