Allie Pleiter (edit name/settings)

An avid knitter, coffee junkie, and non-reformed chocoholic, Allie Pleiter spends her days writing books, walking her dog to the coffee shop, running carpools, and finding new ways to avoid housework. Allie grew up in Connecticut, holds a BS in Speech from Northwestern University, spent 15 years in the field of professional fundraising, and currently lives in suburban Chicago, Illinois. The “dare from a friend” to begin writing years ago has blossomed into a career that includes numerous public speaking engagements, two books on parenting; BECOMING A CHIEF HOME OFFICER and FACING EVERY MOM'S FEARS, and several novels in a variety of genres. Her first Love Inspired in 2006, MY SO-CALLED LOVE LIFE, received nominations for both the Romance Writers of America Rita Award and the American Christian Fiction Writers Book of the Year Award.
