About Allison Pang
Allison Pang, a marine biologist in a former life, turned to a
life of crime to finance her wild spending habits and need to collect
Faberge eggs. A cat thief of notable repute, she spends her days
sleeping and nights scaling walls and wooing dancing boys … well, at
least the marine biology part is true. But she was taloned by a hawk
once. She also loves Hello Kitty, sparkly shoes, and gorgeous
violinists. She spends her days in Northern Virginia working as a cube
grunt and her nights waiting on her kids and cats, punctuated by the
occasional husbandly serenade. Sometimes she even manages to write.
Mostly she just makes it up as she goes.
