Ally Kennen
Ally Kennen (born 1975) is a British author of adventure novels for children and teens. Some of her books have been marketed as thrillers and they may be classed as horror fiction.
She was born in Somerset and grew up on a farm in the Exmoor region of South West England. She studied Archaeology and History at the University of Birmingham.
Writer
Kennen's first book, Beast, was created during a Master of Arts program in Creative Writing at Bath Spa University. It was published by Marion Lloyd Books in 2006 and the British librarians named it one of six finalists for the annual Carnegie Medal, which recognises the year's best children's book published in the U.K. The judges recommended it for readers age 12 and up.
Her fourth book, Sparks, published by Marion Lloyd in 2010, was one of eight books on the longlist for that year's Guardian Children's Fiction Prize. The Prize is judged by a panel of children's writers and it annually recognises one new British children's novel by an author who has not won it. The judges recommended Sparks for readers age 9 and over. According to their summary, the adventure novel features three children who decide to follow their deceased grandfather's unusual instructions regarding his funeral. The mission sets them against the adults in the family and against the law.

Walkin' Away
by: Diamond Rio(Annie Roboff/Craig Wiseman)
Sometimes a careless word just rolls right off my tongue
No matter what I do it leaves you all undone
Hey baby no need to go crazy
Over some little something I've said
Can't you see you're the keeper of my heart
Even when I lose my head, yes
We've still got it good no matter how bad it gets
Even after all this time the slipper still fits
Hey, just look at how far we've come by choosing to stay
Baby, don't go there love don't get nowhere walkin' away
Sometimes the whisper of love gets lost in the angry shout
Even hearts that are in this deep
Might think about an easy way out
One honest touch makes those worries
Just fade like stars at dawn
These occasional moments of weakness
Only makes our love more strong, oh
We've still got it good no matter how bad it gets
Even after all this time the slipper still fits
Hey, just look at how far we've come by choosing to stay
Baby, don't go there love don't get nowhere walkin' away
It gets easier all the time
Oh, and harder and harder to leave behind
We've still got it good no matter how bad it gets
Even after all this time the slipper still fits
Hey, just look at how far we've come by choosing to stay
Baby, don't go there love don't get nowhere walkin' away
