Bonjour! Thanks for accepting my friend request. I enjoyed Asylum and look forward to Sanctum. While I realize it's aimed at the YA market, Asylum brought back many fun memories of my own early days in college, back in the 80's I'm not sure what that says about my college...

Hi! Thanks for accepting my friend request. I've been going through the Allison Hewitt is Trapped blog and the excerpt on the St. Martin's Press website. It had me at "zombies". :) I absolutely cannot wait for your novel to come out. :D
