Biography
Allison Keeton's passion for writing started when she was seven years old and grew into writing mysteries and suspense for adults, middle grade, and young adults.
She currently writes the Midcoast Maine Mystery series through Level Best Books.
Allison holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT, and an MFA in Creative Writing from Lesley University, Cambridge, MA . She’s a member of Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, and the Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance and has attended many writing conferences including the Writers’ Police Academy, where she quickly learned she was not a sharp shooter.
On the non-fiction front, she writes her own creative non-fiction blog, Largest Ball of Twine, and contributes monthly to the Maine Crime Writers blog.
Allison lives in Midcoast Maine with her muse, Tom Aylesbury, and their two poochies, Kelton and Roger. When she's not at her laptop, she can be found walking a hiking trail, paddling a river, or reading at the beach.
