Gifted the middle name of Jane, for Jane Austen, wordsmithing was duly destined and, under several pseudonyms, Allison Rushby (also writing as A. Rushby and A.J. Rushby) has published more than thirty books. She has long been a fan of cities steeped in history, wild, overgrown cemeteries, red brick Victorian museums, the curious and the uncanny. She prefers to write with a cup of French Earl Grey tea by her side and a cat curled up in her lap.
