Born in Phoenix, Arizona, Allison DuBois became aware of her ability to communicate with the dead when she was six years old, when she received a visit from her deceased great-grandfather. After getting a BA in Political Science from Arizona State University, she worked as an intern at the district attorney’s office in Phoenix. This got her interested in using her skills to help solve crimes. Allison now devotes her life to helping the living by connecting them with deceased loved ones. She’s the inspiration for the hit NBC-TV series Medium, and host of the podcast The Dead Life. She's written six books and is a New York Times bestselling author.
