About Allia
WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE. I’m so excited you’re here. I just love, love, love visitors.
Take your time and browse; there’s no rush. I have books for children, adults, cat lovers, worriers, tween devotionals, and lots more. I’ve been writing books for a long time, and have close to 200 to my name. Some have won awards; some have been translated into foreign languages. But my favorites are the books that make people laugh…and those that bring folks closer to God. Before I branched out on my own, I was Senior Editor/Religious Books at Reader’s Digest Children’s Publishing for nine years. However, my cats complained of being lonely. So I decided to be a stay-at-home mom/author so I could tend to my fur babies and write children’s and cat books. I do hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them.
Oh, and please check out my NEW RELEASES below, including my latest, WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU: A Book About Acceptance. It’s the sequel to the bestseller and Mom’s Choice Award, WHAT I LIKE ABOUT ME and teaches kids to judge friends on their actions—not what they look like or where they come from. Please also check out LAUGH OUT LOUD: 40 Women Humorists Celebrate Then and Now. . .Before We Forget, a book I wrote in collaboration with the Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop. These titles make great gifts for anytime. My new title, Heavenly Headbutts: Reflections of Hope about Cats and Eternity won a 2023 Indie Book Award for Best Overall Design. Kudos to my creative director, Mary pat Pino, for her exquisite design.
Oh, and the good news, my two self-pubbed titles won Indie Awards, LAUGH OUT LOUD won a 2019 award in the humor category, and WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU won a 2020 Indie Award in the Children’s Picture Book category. Cool beans. My latest book from Kregel Publishers, GOD MADE US JUST RIGHT won a 2022 Catholic Media Award, and THE WORRYWART’S PRAYER BOOK won the top slot in the 2022 Next Generation Indie International Awards for Christian Non Fiction.
