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.
Way to go Allan!
This is a great review, Alan. Congrats!
Thanks Raani, I’m hoping more will come as a result of the giveaway. There’s only been the one so far, but the promotion only ended last weekend. And not everyone, is a fast reader. Or they may have a bunch of other books to get through still.
Like me, I’m afraid. I downloaded your book to my Kindle reader just now. But I have no idea when I’ll be there, still needing to read through my pile!
Take your time. I know how it is to have too many books to get through. When you get to it, I hope you enjoy it a lot.
