I was born in Louisville, Kentucky and now live in rural Indiana. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved telling
and being told stories. When, at the age of about six, I was informed that somebody got paid for writing all those
books and movies and television shows, I abandoned my previous ambition (beachcomber), and became a
writer.
Featured Novelist Julie Hyzy
Alyson wrote her debut novel, Charlinder's Walk, during a Peace Corps assignment in Albania, where she learned the
vagaries of language barriers, culture shock, and teaching English to high school students. It is no coincidence, then,
that her first protagonist is a curious, determined young adult who travels the world while having no idea what he's
getting into. She lives in Maryland with her computer and a great deal of knitting yarn, and thinks of genres as
"guidelines."
In 2012, the Plague ended the world as we know it. In 2130,
Charlinder wants to know why.
The origin of the disease remains a mystery. Their ignorance of its provenance fuels a growing schism that threatens to destroy the peace that the survivors’ descendants have built. Unwilling to wait for matters to get any worse, he decides to travel to where the Plague first appeared and find out the truth—which means walking across three continents before returning home.
Charlinder has never been more than ten miles from home, has never heard anyone speak a foreign language, and he's going it alone. He survives thousands of miles of everything from near-starvation to near-madness before he meets Gentiola. By then he’s so exhausted that the story she offers to tell seems like little more than a diversion...until he hears it.
Nothing could have prepared him for what he learns from her, and no one ever told him: be careful what you wish for. The world is a much bigger place than Charlinder knew, and his place in it is a question he never asked before.
