What Readers Say About My Books

I am always amazed when I read Allison Spooner's work. She has the knack for a gut-punch twist ending and manages to build up characters and turn them upside down on their heads all in the space of a thousand words.

Allison Spooner's trademark is being able to make you laugh, gasp, and tear up--often within the same 1,000-word story. She *sees* people in a way that you didn't realize people could be seen.

I assure you that you will be immersed from the start, and still thinking about the content long after you have completed each of these short stories!
