Alicia Peterson
AUTHOR
I write fantasy and sci-fi with strong character voices for YA and middle grade. There’s always humor, because life is flat without it. Sometimes there’s a dash of history, because the past is a foreign country, and I love to travel. And there’s usually romance. Because romance.
Faith, hope, and love hold me together. That, and a lot of peanut butter.
I also write flash fiction for some bite-sized fun.
