Alison Sky Richards, originally from NY but now living in Nashville, attended Niagara University where she studied all the background technical elements that go into creating stories and emotions (sound, light, and points of view) in not only theatre, but for television and movies. Since college, she has studied sword fighting and has held certificates of proficiency in both Broadsword and Short Sword with the Society of American Fight Directors (SAFD). Her weapon knowledge has made her into a “method writer” when it comes to designing fight scenes for her novels.
Beyond her fiction novels, she is also a staff writer with ThreeIfBySpace.net, a screenplay reviewer with the Nashville Film Festival, teaches writing workshops annually at DragonCon alongside NYT Bestselling Authors Michael Stackpole and Timothy Zahn, and helps local authors learn to write and develop fight scenes in their own works, as well as the basics in the romance genre, and using social media as an author.
