by Alexis Reed
Alexis graduated from the Pennsylvania State University with a Master’s degree in English in 2000. Besides her fiction work, she spent six years as a professional editor and grant writer.
She lives with her husband, Rob and their two young sons. Their home is full of love and laughter—and a lot of mischief. Fortunately, they have two cats and a 12-pound schnoodle named Goliath to run the place.
