Allie Duzett is a wife, mother, musician, and writer with a passion for YA. The Body Electric is her debut novel. She lives with her husband and baby in Maryland (but is seriously considering a move to Texas). She is deeply ashamed of her love for Goldfish crackers (cheddar, of course), which persists despite her commitment to real food, whole grains, and juicing. Even though she spends most of her time these days mothering and writing novels and music, her actual college degree is in environmental soil science, or in other words, "dirt." She prefers writing fiction to analyzing soil samples for humus content.You can read more about her at http://allieduzett.blogspot.com, where she blogs all her secrets.Or at least some of them.
