Biography
Alison Kent was a born reader, but it wasn't until she reached the age of thirty that she knew she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. Five years later, she made her first sale, and in 1995, she accepted an offer issued by the senior editor of Harlequin Temptation live on the "Isn't It Romantic?" episode of CBS 48 Hours. The resulting book, Call Me, was a Romantic Times Magazine finalist for Best First Series Book in 1996.
With her first three Temptations on the shelf, she took a break from writing romance novels and spent a few months living one, finding her own hero and practicing every technique she'd learned from a lifetime of reading the best "how-to" manuals around! And the rest, as they say, is history. Having more than 30 titles contracted or in print, she now writes for both the Harlequin Blaze and Kensington Brava lines.
Alison lives in a Houston, Texas, suburb with her hero, any number of their four vagabond kids, and a dog named Smith. Readers can contact her through her website, and chat about craft, the writing life, and favorite books on her very active blog.
She published five novels as an author for Harlequin Temptation.
