Carrie Ann AlfordCarrie Ann Alford is a journalist and novelist based in Washington, D.C. Her first novel, CLICK, is published by Author House (subliminal advertising: you want to buy this book!). Her second novel, Conquering Washington, has been delayed due to real jobs and writer’s block and is slated for a release sometime before the Day of Judgement. She has dual degrees in Journalism and Old Testament & Jewish Studies from the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. (Worried about wearing clothing made from two types of linen or if that fake lobster is kosher? I’m your girl.) She has been writing reviews for HollywoodJesus since 2007, so hopefully you’ve read all her Pulitzer-worthy reviews. She reviews political non-fiction and current issues books, some fiction, CDs and whatever category that Madea book falls under. She has worked on the campaign trail as a fundraiser and finance director, as well as covering government appropriations as a reporter… she however has difficulty balancing her own checkbook…
