Allison Thorpe
Allison Thorpe is the cozy pen name of Sylvia Ahrens. Sylvia lives in Kentucky, though, in the past, her wandering feet have taken her across the country and back again, as well as to a few more distant locales. She is a retired assistant professor and served on the board of the Kentucky Women Writers Conference for many years. She is currently working at the Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning where she provides mentoring services involving poetry, women’s writing, editing, and revising.
