Allison’s contemporary romance series, The Bourbon Books, has been lauded as witty, nuanced, and suggestive. The debut novel, DIBS, won the N.N. Light Book Award for Best RomCom, and was a Finalist in the 2020 Kindle Book Awards. It was also named as Reader’s Choice: Category Leader for Romance. DIBS is a modern love story, featuring a fictionalized nonprofit, The Ranchers. The sequel, SINCE SEPTEMBER, premiered in September 2021, and continues the love story that started in DIBS. In MOVE ON, MELINDA, the world of the Ranchers expands to feature a new pairing, hinted at in SINCE SEPTEMBER, and turns up the heat. The fourth installment, CLIMB THE SALMON LADDER, was released in May of 2022, with fan-favorite Jamie Wallace taking her turn as lead. The final full-length novel, THE RANCHERS TAKE MANHATTAN, is newly released as of July 2024, with a cast of returning characters and five points-of-view. A Christmas novella featuring the bubbly blonde with the soda pop moniker, Lorrie Sunkist, is still to come. The audiobook of DIBS is narrated by Diana Guillermo and will soon be available for presale.
Writing as A.M. Hubbard, Allison brings her distinct voice and emphasis on character-driven narrative to her own unique approach to literary and speculative fiction. Her newest project, a dual-timeline speculative novel with a fabulist bent, is currently seeking representation.
