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.
Allan – HOW EXCITING!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Way to go, Allan! Congratulations!!! Blessings.

Hi Allan,
Congratulations and I am happy for you. This is a result of your hard work and not giving up, so keep moving forward.
Ciao,
Patricia
I intend to Patricia. This is only the beginning. I’m going to be going after local media outlets and bookstores in the neighboring counties next. I intend to keep spreading this way and through FB friends and connections in other states to try and go even further. With luck, eventually bigger newspapers, maybe agents, and publishers may start taking notice.
What – they’re head hunting you now? All right!
I looked the radio station up, they apparently belong to Clear Channel Communities who own a group of radio stations locally (some of which I had tried contacting). I’m gathering they sorted my e-mail out and forwarded it to this particular station of theirs because it’s the local talk radio station, which doesn’t bother me at all. It means they were interested enough to want to talk to me. I’m excited.
Fantastic Allan!!!!
Thank you. I just hope there are more coming.
