About AlisonAlison Solomon is the author of four mystery novels, the most recent being Before She Left. She has recently released Timing Is Everything as an audiobook. In January 2019 she was very excited to re-release her re-edited debut novel, "Along Came the Rain" (origially published by Sapphire Books.) ACTR received fantastic reviews and was a Goldie finalist. In November 2018 her third novel "Timing Is Everything" was voted Best of the Bay for a novel by a Tampa Bay author. She has published numerous articles and chapters on feminism, mental health and diversity in academic textbooks, anthologies, journals and newspapers. For several years she wrote a bi-weekly, humorous, lesbian-feminist column that ran in the Philadelphia Weekly and an advice column in the Sacramento Jewish Voice. Her short story, “Lilian's afternoon,” about an older lesbian with Alzheimer’s, was published in the Lake Chapala Review and she has short stories in several anthologies. She is happily married to Carol, her partner of 26 years, and has two rescue dogs who very kindly allow her to live with them and take care of them.
