PERSONAL BIO—Alison Hart
Alison sold her first book in 1980, and since then has sold over 80 books in the
contemporary romance genre. Her first professional writing award came from RWA,
a Silver Medallion in l984, followed by over 20 nominations and awards, including
being honored in RWA’s Hall of Fame and RWA Nora Roberts "Lifetime
Achievement Award". Alison has been on numerous bestseller lists, has written for
Harlequin, Avon, Berkley and Dell, and has sold over the world in over 20 languages.
She has also accumulated a number of pseudonyms, most recognizably “JENNIFER
GREENE”, but also Jeanne Grant and Jessica Massey.
She was born in Michigan, started writing in high school, and graduated from Michigan
State University with a degree in English and Psychology. The University honored her
with their “Lantern Night Award”, a tradition developed to honor fifty outstanding
women graduates each year. Exploring issues and concerns for women today is what
first motivated her to write, and she has long been an enthusiastic and active supporter
of women’s fiction, which she believes is an ‘unbeatable way to reach out and support
other women’. Alison lives in the country around Benton Harbor, Michigan, with her
husband Lar.
