About Me

Alison Jackson: I have written twelve books for young readers, ranging from preschool to young adult. My latest book, EGGS OVER EVIE is about a girl who loves to cook. It is chock full of fun recipes, cooking tips and quotes from famous chefs. You can read about it and all of my other books on my website: www.alison-jackson.com

Books Available for Purchase

You can be in my next book!

Have you ever wanted to be published? Well, you can! Simply read EGGS OVER EVIE (available at libraries, Amazon, or www.alison-jackson.com.) Then answer my weekly trivia question. If your answer is correct you can send an original recipe to me at pieauthor@aol.com. Thirteen recipes will be included in my sequel, NEW YEAR'S EVIE, and one of them could be yours! Bon appetit!

Sample Recipe from EGGS OVER EVIE

EVIE'S POWDERED SUGAR BROWNIES

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
3 squares unsweetened chocolate
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup flour
Dash salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. and grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Line bottom of dish with waxed paper.

Combine butter and chocolate over low heat or melt at low microwave setting. Beat eggs until thick and foamy. Then beat sugar into eggs thoroughly. Blend in flour. Add vanilla, salt, and chocolate mixture. Beat well.

Pour brownie batter into dish; bake for 45 minutes. Brownies will be sticky and look underdone. Turn out immediately onto a fresh sheet of waxed paper. Take paper off bottom of brownies and cut while hot. They will tear slightly.

When cool, roll in powdered sugar. Makes 2 dozen small brownies.

Coming Soon!

WHEN THE WIND BLEW, a sequel to IF THE SHOE FITS, will be published by Henry Holt & Company in early 2014. The book is a take-off on the nursery rhyme "Rock-a-Bye Baby, in the Tree Top." In my version, the wind blows so hard that the baby is whisked right out of the tree and lands on top of the shoe house belonging to the "Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe." Many nursery rhymes get mangled before things are set right again.

Current Projects

I am currently working on another ghost story entitled WELCOME TO THE VELVET ARMS. It is about four orphaned girls who discover that their foster home is haunted.
