Alyson has been a transplanted Southerner since 1995, when she moved to Pennsylvania after graduating from Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina. She has lived in the Royersford and Limerick areas for the last 16 years, but she is still a huge fan of everything Southern, including sweet tea, country music, fried chicken and college football.
She graduated from Rosemont College in May 2012 with a Master of Arts in Publishing.
She currently resides in Limerick, PA with her husband John, two cats, Vespa and Ginny, and a mutt named Loki, who lives up to the "mischief" part of his namesake's personality. In her spare time she reads, crochets, plays World of Warcraft and is a huge fan of everything sci-fi.
