Guest Bio
Allie McCormack is a disabled U.S. military veteran who has transformed her life-long dream of writing into reality. Having lived across the United States and spent memorable years in both Cairo, Egypt as an exchange student and Saudi Arabia working at a hospital in Riyadh, Allie now crafts her stories from the beautiful California wine country she calls home, accompanied by her family and two rescue cats. When not weaving tales of romance and adventure, Allie explores the intersection of art and technology through AI-generated artwork, finding new ways to express her creativity. Her passion for storytelling drives everything she does, bringing to life the countless characters and worlds that populate her imagination. Whether through words or images, Allie believes in creating works that touch hearts and spark joy.

Show Notes
- Allie had an odd start to worldbuilding as she didn’t intend on writing a series.
- Truck Stop was written after driving through Wyoming.
- Based Swan song on experience in Santa Barbara – was sad when fires went through.
- When Darkness falls was inspired by second life role play
- Uses AI for her own enjoyment, wouldn’t recommend for worldbuilding because of dubious consistency.
- A different way to use scrivener to align story ideas and rules.
