A multi-genre author, Alyssa currently writes a blend of historical romance, paranormal romance, and romantic suspense. She adores strong heroines with quick wit, and often laughs aloud when imagining conversations between her characters.

When she’s not whipping up chocolate treats in the kitchen, Alyssa can be found searching for fairy houses and mermaid eggs.
