Category: About Me!

Hello, you lovely readers!

I’m a bit late to the game here, I know – turns out keeping busy with work, writing, and a surprise pregnancy can really take a lot out of you!

But I’m here to share with you all some pretty darn awesome incentives when you pre-order your copy of The Silence Between Us and send a pic of your receipt to: authoralisongervais.com@gmail.com

Like….this fabulous exclusive downloadable poster!

Seriously, how beautiful is this poster?! Still can’t get enough of it.

Also available to those who send in their pre-order receipts is a behind-the-scenes video about The Silence Between Us where I talk about just what went into creating the story and much more!

It’s a lot of fun, folks, and I promise you won’t want to miss it. So send in those pre-order receipts to take advantage of these awesome incentives!

And with some more exciting news…we are now less than a month out from the release of The Silence Between Us and I can hardly believe it! I started this project back in 2017, and it’s come along way since the very first rough draft.

I’m so unbelievably excited and nervous to share this Own Voices story with you all, but I think it’s about darn time! I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve ever poured this much of myself into my writing before, so this project has become something very near and dear to my heart.

I really hope all you readers enjoy it!

So click on one of the links below to pre-order your copy of The Silence Between Us now and send in pics of those receipts by August 12 to get those pre-order incentives.

PS – The Silence Between Us will also be available as an audiobook, which you can pre-order too if you’d like!

Hello, all you fabulous readers!

I hope life is treating you fantastically and that there are plenty of good reads on your bookshelves waiting to be devoured.

But in other news…I’ve got some traveling ahead of me!

Recently I was asked to attend the School Library Journal’s Day of Dialog this coming May 29 and sit on a Young Adult panel with a few other amazing authors! I can hardly believe The Silence Between Us caught SLJ’s attention, but I’m honored to be able to participate and speak alongside other fabulous authors such as:

Jessica Bennett, This is 18

Thanhha Lai, Butterfly Yellow

Kim Liggett, The Grace Year

Tochi Onyebuchi, War Girls

Feel free to click on the book titles to learn more about these exciting titles, because I promise these are ones you’re going to want to read ASAP!

The YA panel will take place from 1:50 PM to 2:40 PM, and signings will take place later on. I’m so excited for this opportunity I can hardly wait!

AND!

I’m also lucky enough to be attending the Book Expo of America on May 30 for a signing for The Silence Between Us!

Please check out my News & Important Events page for more details about these exciting events as they unfold!

Hope to see you all in New York City soon!

Hello all you lovely readers!

I am so behind in posting this, so firstly, let me offer my apologies! Life has been throwing me more curveballs than expected lately, and only now am I feeling as if I can breathe normally again.

BUT!

I am so unbelievably excited to announce that IN 27 DAYS has been translated into Czech and Polish!

It was unbelievable – and still is – that IN 27 DAYS was published in English, but now in Czech and Polish too? I’m still having a hard time wrapping my mind around it. Take a look at these cool covers:

And just because it’s so gorgeous, I’m going to throw up the cover for the Spanish edition of IN 27 DAYS too.

So click on my “Books!” page to check out where you can purchase your Polish, Czech, or Spanish editions of IN 27 DAYS! 😀

Happy reading!

Lots of love,

Alison

Hello, you lovely readers!

I am SO very excited to share with you all the cover for my upcoming novel, The Silence Between Us.

I’m even more excited to share this #OwnVoices novel with you all, which tells the story of a Deaf teen attending a hearing school and figuring out her way in life.

This fantastic cover was created by the superbly talented Deaf artist Nancy Rourke. I am still in raptures at how gorgeous it is!

 

 

Please stay tuned as more information for preorders, promotional goodies, etc, becomes available!

 

Lots of love,

Alison
