ALLISON KEETON
Allison Keeton's passion for writing started with poetry and picture books when she was seven years old and branched into writing mysteries and suspense for adults, middle grade and young adults.
Allison writes the Midcoast Maine Mystery Series. Book one, Blaze Orange, debuted in January 2025. Book two, Arctic Green, is the next book in the series.
She's been twice accepted into Rutgers University’s invitation-only writers’ conference and is a member of the national and New England chapters of Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime, and, locally, the Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA and has attended numerous writing conferences including the Writers’ Police Academy, where she learned quickly she was not a sharp shooter.
On the non-fiction front, Allison has written human resource articles for national websites and published a digital book on job hunting called Ace that Interview: Advice from a Real Recruiter. She also writes her own creative non-fiction blog, Largest Ball of Twine, and contributes monthly to the Maine Crime Writers blog.
Allison lives in Maine with her muse, Tom, and their two poochies, Kelton and Roger. When she's not at her laptop, she can be found walking a hiking trail, paddling a river, or reading at the beach.
