Author of the memoir Raised By Narcotics, Alyse started writing as a way to cope with the deaths she witnessed in her family. Using that, as well as therapy, to piece together the puzzle of her life and bring some light and hope to the world amongst the most devastating empidemic we have seen in our lifetime. 
Originally from Utah, she now resides with her family in Oregon City, OR. She is currently working on a new project to help teens facing the same problems she knew growing up in a drug addicted family, and hopes to reach out to children of all ages with illustrated works that cater to young ages, their parents, teachers, and guardians.
