Originally from Levittown NY, I currently reside somewhere along the coast in California with my wife/co-author Helen.
A lot of my creativity was born from my lifelong love of science fiction and horror. As a child I grew up on the original Dark Shadows, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Doctor Who (which I still follow) and Anime.
A few of my favorite authors are HP Lovecraft, Jane Austen, Robert Asprin, Jodi Lynn Nye, Stephen King, Richard Matheson, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Edgar Allan Poe, and so many more.
However, I do not spend all our time sitting behind a desk writing. I like to get out and try new things. We also like to explore new places, sometimes with family or friends. I've gotten plenty of ideas thanks to these adventures. I like to draw from personal experience because I feel it lends a bit of authenticity to a story and its characters. Which is probably why Helen and I still love to attend conventions which involve sci-fi, fantasy, anime, comics, you name it. Yes, we are Geeks and proud of it.
Ah, the joys of moving. I swear I’ve lost so much of my stuff in the past several years due to moving. If ever I get to settle down I’m going to have to rebuild from scratch, but hey, new stuff!
Hmmm… new stuff.
Lol, the coffee bit was absolutely hilarious and the award moment! Ah, that was good, Allan. We women always know where the coffee is 🙂 Thanks for sharing and backyard view is nice.
Thanks Amber, glad you liked it. And you’re right, women always seem to know where the coffee and everything else is.
This is great. Thanks for the laughs. You do well in front of the camera. 🙂
Thank you so much, it’s nice to hear that. Glad you enjoyed it.
