Alli Temple has been a writer since the second grade, when she wrote a short story about a girl and her horse. Her grandmother typed it out for her and said she's never seen so many quotation marks from a seven-year-old before. Alli took that as a challenge and has gone on to try to break her previous record in all her subsequent works. Alli lives in Toronto with her very patient husband and the world's most adorable rescue dog. She writes contemporary romance as Allison Temple and splits her free time between writing, community theater stage management, and traveling anywhere that has good wine. Tragically, this leaves no time to clean her house.
