Nancy Kelly Allen, an award-winning author, holds master's degrees in both Education and Library and Information Science. She has written more than fifty children's books in the comfort of her log cabin near the town of Hazard, Kentucky. In Nancy's neck of the woods, she and her husband are always in danger of a vampire attack. If gnats don't scat, they get a splat with her hat. Tick bites on her two miniature schnauzers do not TICKle her either. Nancy willingly gives blood for a good cause, but to a vampire? Never!
