edit data

Writing stories about the unspoken and sometimes off-putting aspects of dating, romance, and life is my passion. With each book, I envision the stories that feel familiar or connect with the reader on a certain level. By taking on the tough topics, I hope to inspire others to find a life of love and happiness without having to make the same mistakes as the book characters.
When I'm not writing, I enjoy competing in triathlons, playing music, and hiking.

C.S. McKinney liked Alison Beechner's review of Four-Thirty Girl: "A romance with a mystery. The pacing was great (oops I stayed up all night again reading), the editing was perfect.
