Adriana Allegri is a first-generation American whose parents lived in Europe before, during, and after World War II. She grew up on stories about how small acts of compassion saved lives, a theme that shows up in everything she writes, regardless of genre.
A former high school teacher and educational program administrator, Adriana also served as a writer and project manager for a leading data analytics company. She spent fifteen years in the New York metro area but is happily relocated in Chandler, Arizona with two ornery rescue cats.
When not at the keyboard, she enjoys painting, cooking, jewelry-making, antiquing, travel, and, of course, curling up with a favorite read.
In 2015, she took a significant step to concentrate on her writing career, resulting in her work "The Sunflower House" being published by St. Martin's Press in the fall of 2024. Following this, she completed a second book, "Late Bloomers, Romantic Suspense," and is currently working on a third, "For Love of Ben, Women's Fiction," and fourth, "Child of Fire, Supernatural."
She is represented by her agent, Lizz Nagle at Victress Literary, and when not writing, she indulges in hobbies like cooking, painting, gardening, day-tripping, or enjoying a cozy read.
