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

In answer to your question, yes, Credo's Betrayal will be coming out very soon. Since you signed up for my newsletter, you'll get a notification telling you when it will go up for pre-order. Also, on the lower right side of my website there is a counter that tells you how many words I write each day and how many total words my work in progress has.

I LOVE audio, too, but up to this point, I haven't had the return I'd hoped to have on those three. It's very difficult, economically, to justify the upfront money for an audiobook. I know some authors do well with them and wish I knew what they did to make a profit. I'd love for Abby Craden to narrate the Daughters of Elyon series. We'll see if I can make that happen!(less)
