Detailed Bio

February 9, 2010 by Ally Carter Leave a Comment

I was born and raised in Oklahoma.  My mother was a teacher and her father a farmer and rancher.  I have one older sister. 

In high school, I was very active in a number of student organizations and graduated as co-valedictorian of my senior class.  I then attended Oklahoma State University and Cornell University and worked for several years in the agricultural industry before writing full-time. 

My first novel, Cheating at Solitaire (Berkley) was published in 2005.  I followed that up with my first novel for young adults, I’d Tell You I Love You but Then I’d Have to Kill You (Disney-Hyperion) in April 2006.  In the fall of that year I published the sequel to Solitaire, Learning to Play Gin.  There are no more plans for future books in that series at this time. 

My books have been published in more than twenty countries and have appeared on best-seller lists from the New York Times, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, Barnes and Noble, IndieBound, and Bookscan. 

I now live in Oklahoma and work as a full-time writer.
