Jeannine Allard lives and works in an old sea captain’s house in North Truro village, Massachusetts, just a few minutes from Provincetown. She shares her home with one cat, two lovebirds, and thousands of books.
She writes novels, short stories, nonfiction, plays, poetry, and essays, all under a number of pen names (have to keep all those genres in their various places!), and her work has appeared in 15 countries and has been translated into 12 languages.
She came to Provincetown for the first time in the mid-seventies and fell in love with the town then; it took a few years and some meandering, but she eventually came back and now lives permanently in a little part of the United States that really isn’t like the rest of the United States at all.
She likes it that way.
