Allison Chernutan
ALLISON CHERNUTAN hopes to be a New York Times bestselling author of young adult fiction one day, but for now, she’s just trying to get all of the stories out of her head and into the world. She currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband Steven and their incredibly chill rescue dog Braunger. When her characters aren’t yelling at her to write more of these darn book things already, Allison can most often be found traveling to ride the next unique roller coaster on her list, or screaming out songs in the front row of a concert. Sky High is basically her favorite movie ever, and as a result, PYROKINETIC is her debut novel.
