Allison Leotta – mom, author, high school locker neighbor

July 27, 2013 by Jessica Leave a Comment

Back in the day, thriller author Allison Leotta was Ali Harnish. That’s only a few letters — and one Kelly Hardin locker — away from yours truly, Jessica Haney.

These days, Ali and I are both moms living in the DC metro area, and we both like to write.

Ahem.

Maybe the similarities stop there. She is, after all, a Harvard-educator lawyer with a five-book deal from Simon and Schuster. And a tall blond.

I am a short brunette who asked her how the hell she has pulled all this off with two young boys.

My piece on TheDCMoms.com reveals all!It also offers a giveaway of a signed copy of Ali’s forthcoming novel, Speak of the Devil.

Check out my interview with Ali before August 3 to learn just how she does it and to enter to win a signed copy of the book (to be released August 6).

Also, don’t miss Ali’s recent appearance on CNN talking about the Cleveland kidnappings and her tips to stay safe.
