B. Allison Miller is the penname of Barbara Allison Miller—her debut novel “5 Days ‘til Christmas” features witty amateur sleuth, Charlotte O’Hara, a blogger/barista who lives on a Christmas tree farm. Allison (who goes by her middle name) lives in scenic Colorado with her husband and two rescue dogs. When she isn’t plotting a murder, Allison can be found hiking, playing with her dogs, or experimenting with recipes in her cozy kitchen.
