Alicia Peterson
YA & MIDDLE GRADE AUTHOR
I write YA fantasy and middle grade sci-fantasy with strong voices
and a dash of not-too-distant history.
And there’s usually romance. Because romance.
My style lives at the crossroads where lines between
fantasy and reality, sacred and profane,
get a little wibbly-wobbly.
For some bite-sized fun, I also write flash fiction.
Faith, hope, and love hold me together.
That, and a lot of peanut butter.
