    Isabelle Spotts can talk about horror with the sweetest smile - you’ll love this charming conversation about writing in stolen moments, playing around with POV and tense, and how to show belief in yourself.

    On Energy Levels and Micro Habits, with Allison Boley

    29/10/2026 | 32 mins.
    Allison Boley juggles teaching, writing, and a couple of chronic health conditions, so monitoring and working with her energy levels has been key in moving forward. We also talk about using metaphors for bodily feelings, doing your marketing work so early that it’s a gift to yourself, and how high levels of support aid high expectations. Don’t miss this one!

    Allison Boley took the twisty path toward her lifelong dream of becoming a novelist. After graduating from Arizona State University with a BS in Justice Studies, Allison moved to Los Angeles... just in time for a writers' strike and a recession. Allison earned semifinalist honors in the international Scriptapalooza TV contest, but eventually almost ran out of money and returned to Arizona. In 2020, she earned her PhD in Physics from ASU, where she is currently an Associate Teaching Professor. In addition to writing and physics, Allison loves playing drums and learning new things. Cipher, a code-breaking spy thriller with environmental justice themes, is her first novel.
