Alison is devoted to giving her readers strong female characters who go about life with zest and abandon. Whether they solve mysteries or fight epic fantasy battles, they all have one trait in common; they are people you'd love to call friend. Alison has worn many hats in her life and, as a result, writes in several genres. From twenty years as a cop to being a lifelong horsewoman and an avid reader of fantasy fiction, she writes what she knows. Alison has a bizarre sense of humor, a realistic look at life, and an insatiable desire to live life to the fullest. She loves all horses and hounds and some humans… Alison enjoys hearing from her readers. Visit her website at https://www.AlisonHoltBooks.com
