Long Bio

Alison Woods – a lover of imaginative stories – writes children’s books based on her experiences with her children and grandchildren. She entertained them with her own spontaneous bedtime stories and then challenged them to set the stage with these words: “Give me two words and I’ll give you a story.” You can imagine how crazy the stories could be. She lives in Irving, Texas with her husband and they visit their children and grandchildren in Dallas, New Orleans, Philadelphia and Rivercrest, California. She still tells stories to the youngest grands.
