Dana Ali­son Levy was raised by pirates but escaped at a young age and went on to earn a degree in aero­nau­tics and pup­petry. Actu­al­ly, that’s not true — she just likes to make things up. That’s why she always want­ed to write books. She was born and raised in New Eng­land and stud­ied Eng­lish lit­er­a­ture before going to grad­u­ate school for Busi­ness. Dana was last seen romp­ing around with her fam­i­ly in Massachusetts.
