“Words are such uncertain things; they so often sound well but mean the opposite of what one thinks they do.”
― Agatha Christie, Partners in Crime
Alison, who grew up listening to her mother reading her the most wonderful books full of adventure, heroes, ducks, and dogs, promotes reading wherever she goes and believes literacy is the key to changing the world for the better.
In her writing, she follows Heinlein’s Rules, the first rule being You Must Write. To that end, she writes in several genres simply because she enjoys the great variety of characters and settings her over-active fantasy life creates.
There’s nothing better for her than when a character looks over their shoulder, crooks a finger for her to follow, and heads off on an adventure. From medieval castles to a horse farm in Virginia to the police beat in Tucson, Arizona, her characters live exciting lives, and she’s happy enough to follow them around and report on what she sees.
Alison's previous life as a cop gave her a bizarre sense of humor, a realistic look at life, and an insatiable desire to live life to the fullest. She loves all horses & hounds and some humans…

Alex Wolfe Mysteries
|
Alexandra Wolfe takes Sherlock Holmes and Stephanie Plum and rolls them into a fresh, irreverent, tough cop who skates on the edge of the law in her quest for justice.
Officially, Alexandra Wolfe, a detective in the Special Crimes Unit of the Tucson Police Department, searches for a madman killing and maiming prostitutes.
Unofficially, Alex's best friend bullies her into reviewing the case of a man on death row. Against the Captain's orders and Alex's better judgment, she re-opens the case. It doesn't take long to discover her Captain was the chief investigator and may have overlooked key evidence.
Alex may be a bull-headed, stubborn maverick, but even if it could ruin her career, her huge heart won't allow the execution of a wrongfully convicted man. The twisted investigative trail leads to the doorstep of the beautiful and daunting Gianina Angelino, head of the Angelino Crime Family. The police department can order Alex to stay away from the murder investigation and links to organized crime, but Gianina doesn't answer to Alex's chain of command.
With the unsolicited help of the Mafia, Alex's rescued mutt, and her exuberant best friend, Alex's unorthodox methods blur her personal and professional lives. When her two worlds collide, keeping her day job becomes the least of Alex's worries. It's a race to unravel the clues as the clock ticks down on the execution. If Alex can't uncover the truth, an innocent man could die, and she could be the killer's next target.
This action-packed mystery is filled with strong, likable women. Their comradery and determination may turn Alex's life upside down, but together, they get the job done.
