Allie Spencer wanted to be a writer most of her life, but she received her MA and went on to law school, qualifying as a barrister. She specialized in matrimonial and family law and spent several years after that practicing law. Spencer says she finally was able to turn to her passion-writing- after she had her son and was able to concentrate on the writing during her down time- ie. naptime. Now, Spencer is a novelist for Little Black Dress, and has published Tug of Love and The Not So Secret Diary of a City Girl is due out in April. Allie Spencer currently lives in the South of England with her husband and their two children.
