Alisha Costanzo is the penname for Alisha Chambers (It’s my maiden name, and I thought it was catchier. And, no, I’m not related to George.) I grew up just outside of Syracuse, NY, graduated from Plattsburgh State University of New York with two bachelor’s degrees in English Writing and Communication Studies and am attending the University of Central Oklahoma’s graduate program in Creative Writing. I work as a teaching assistant, aka I teach two writing courses, at UCO. I’m married with two wonderful monkeys—I mean step-children. And most of all, I love books and writing and vampires. They make the world better.
