Allynn Riggs began telling stories before she could write them down, and after being nagged and cajoled by a determined collection of fictional characters for many years, surrendered and shifted careers to tel their stories. When Allynn is not writing, she avidly participates in and teaches square and round dancing and hunts big game (she keeps the freezer full most years). The mother of three grown daughters, Allynn lives in Centennial, Colorado with her husband and partner, Bob.
