Now You See It (Simon & Schuster), Allison’s first novel, won the William Faulkner Medal from the Pirate’s Alley Faulkner Society and the Chapter One Award from the Bronx Writers Center. Allison also writes non-fiction — her articles and reviews have appeared in The New York Times Book Review, The Chicago Sun-Times, People, Redbook, In Style, and elsewhere. She’s lectured and read from her work in venues across the country, and loves nothing more than visiting book clubs. Especially book clubs that serve wine. Though beer is fine, too. And, what the heck, cake.
Allison graduated from Dartmouth College and holds an MFA from N.Y.U. She currently teaches in the graduate Creative Writing program at Butler University in Indianapolis, where she lives with her husband, the writer Michael Dahlie, and their son, Evan.
