Ally is a coastal Mississippi native who has called Alabama home for the past twenty years. She is a homeschool mom to two wildly energetic girls. After nearly a decade in youth and college ministry, Ally traded late-night theology debates for early-morning read-alouds around the kitchen table. She’s a deep thinker who geeks out over psychology, the brain, and women in history.

Now an audiobook producer and podcast producer for Owl’s Nest Publishers, Ally is also the creative force behind two of her own shows: Turning Back the Pages, where she chats with children’s book authors about the stories that shaped them, and a story podcast for kids. Behind the scenes, she’s working on books of her own for both children and adults. She loves a good story whether it’s found in books, podcasts, history, or the people she meets along the way.
