Now Available: Vice (Part 2 of the Tick Series)

After much delay, Vice is finally here! It’s been a long time coming. Through much sweat and tears (and some figurative blood), the follow-up to Tick is finally available for y’all lovely fans and readers. To say the process of releasing this book into the world has been a challenge is quite the understatement.

You can find both the paperback and ebook here on Amazon.

by Allison Rose, Gabi Lorino, Cody Sisco, Amy Sterling Casil, Andre Hardy,  Bonnie Randall, Jude-Marie Green, Dario Ciriello

Readers in Los Angeles are thirsty for stories that bring their city to life. This anthology features a diverse range of voices and genres. Like the City of Angels in which these stories were born, nothing is off-limits. Literary or contemporary, noir or ghost story, fabulism or science fiction, each story in this volume will forever change the way you look at this iconic metropolis.

Made in L.A. Writers is a collaborative of Los Angeles-based authors dedicated to nurturing and promoting indie fiction. This 2018 volume is the first of the annual Made in L.A. anthology series. While our styles, themes, and story locales differ, our work is both influenced and illuminated by our hometown and underpinned by the extraordinary, multifaceted, and often surreal culture and life in the City of Angels.

‘Made in L.A.: Stories Rooted in the City of Angels’ is available in paperback and Kindle editions. Hardcover will be released soon. Go here to get the e-book or paperback versions.

April 22 & 23 – L.A. Times Festival of Books

Me, Cody Sisco, and swag

This weekend I had the pleasure of making a dream come true. I was in a booth at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. Joining me were my fellow Made In L.A. Writers Dario Ciriello and Gabi Lorino, but it was all made possible by the wonderful and talented Cody Sisco!

I still have much to learn about the process of self-promotion, but being at such a huge event, and surrounded by so many lovers of books, it was certainly a weekend to remember. Hope to see you all next year!

Indie Reader Review

Rose is a good writer of dialogue, and is deft at slowly doling out information to locate the reader within Jo’s world. The story is exciting, fast-paced, and full of surprises… TICK is a terrific book, which more than stands its ground in a crowded field of dystopian fiction featuring awesome, if “wrett” female heroes.

Readers’ Favorite

…Author Allison Rose kept the essence of thrill and action all the way till the end. This is one of those novels that will keep your heart beating and make you live the life of the character. I was completely invested in the story from the first chapter. Jo is the type of character that you root for right to the very end. She was awesome and very reflective.

Check out this review of Tick from Writer’s Digest:

Tick [presents] a dark and lush tale that paints a very appealing heroine in Jo – someone the reader can believe in and identify with even though she is plagued by a problem that (hopefully) not many people have or have to understand. The novel deftly weaves aspects of teen novels and dystopian sci fi with a story that is, at its heart, a moral tale about the lives we’re forced to live and how we try to do better than our circumstances and the cards dealt to us… The narrative is tightly woven and compelling, moving at a fast pace while still allowing the reader to experience a true depth of characterization as they develop a full appreciation of the events as they take place. Jo is the real star of the show here and we marvel at how well she is handled, how clearly and accurately she seems to be formed.
