Please Don't Scare the Ghost (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780593693650)

Allysa Adams (pronounced a-LEES-a) has always loved making things. Her childhood was spent drawing, sculpting, and wandering the woods to collect bones and feathers and interesting rocks. After completing degrees in molecular biology and genetics, she became a dentist (she still is!), but found she needed more of an outlet for her creativity and has since pursued illustration as a second career. She is most drawn to projects that blend day-to-day reality with elements of surrealism and outright fantasy, and if left to her own devices, would doodle endless fantastical monsters. While not working, Allysa can be found exploring Pennsylvania with her husband, young daughter, and their poorly trained dog. They live in an old house, filled with bones and feathers and interesting rocks.
