Alison Freebairn-Smith started writing stories and songs at an early age and, as a child, would often use a book she had read as a template. Therefore, it's no surprise that her first published book would be a parody of a Dr. Seuss classic. She also had the honor of being part of an elite group of children who sang on many commercials, records and TV and film soundtracks, including providing background vocals on Neil Diamond's "Song Sung Blue" as well as performing seven nights with The Carpenters at the Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles. Now a writer, producer, documentary filmmaker, web creator, she is currently writing, recording and performing her original songs in various Los Angeles-area venues. She has one daughter, also a gifted writer/performer, and lives atop a mountain in Topanga, California.
