Allison's contributions are excerpts from her manuscript, Tossing the Cat Out. She currently resides in Atlanta with a cat, a dog, and three humans. She hopes that during this Economic Downturn, the government does not cut the education budget any more because she is seeking a teaching position. Her dream is to teach creative writing online from the shores of a sandy beach in the middle of nowhere, and to finish "Blood Love," her screenplay about zombies and love. Or zombies in love.
