After being thrust from the womb two weeks late, despite all efforts to remain in utero, and being announced by the delivering doctor as a “split-tail”, I refused to speak to anyone for the first year of my life. None of this mattered, however, because I was the family’s first baby girl. Being the first of anything always leaves high expectations, but they soon realized that other than my superhuman baby adorable fatness, there was nothing, in fact, special about baby Alissa. Growing up with two excellent artist brothers, I managed to fly under the radar for most of my years growing up right outside of Charleston, SC, until I was mysteriously plucked from a bar crowd one fateful night and woke up two years later married and in Asheville, NC. I disguised myself as an insurance agent by day, toiling tirelessly at night to become a published writer. With an acute aptness for being late for pretty much everything, I still don’t disappoint and am late completing my very first manuscript, which I worked on for about one year before setting aside to begin anew. Now, instead of just one book, I am working on several ideas in hopes that one day I may actually complete one of them and become a published author. And so the adventure continues…
