Antonietta Wallace In  the early days, A. B. Wallace's interests centered around dancing, school,  and work. Reading and writing were monstrous creatures she dreaded. Then one day, a strange form of enlightenment struck. (She believes it may  have been lightening but is still unsure.) From that day forth a reader was born and the imagination sparked to life. She has been writing ever since and her husband now wonders to whom he has been married for over thirteen years. Her mother, although proud of her daughter's accomplishments,  ponders on occasion if A. B. Wallace is the same daughter she gave birth  to. But her four dogs and small parrot are absolutely sure of A. B. Wallace's identity.  (She believes it has something to do with who feeds and walks them.) Since that fateful day, several of her short stories have been published in various literary magazines, on the internet, and in anthologies.
A.B. WALLACE was born in Italy but has lived in the United States since  she was five years old. She has a B.A. in Sociology from St. Peter's College, Jersey City, NJ, has worked as a Case Worker for the Hudson County Division  of Welfare in Jersey City and has held several administrative positions  with the Federal Government in Washington DC. She now lives in Virginia.
