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.
This sounds very interesting, Allan. I only wish you would have chosen another WordPress blog instead of BlogSpot. Sometimes the BlogSpot Notifications don’t work. 🙁
I’ll try my best! 🙂
I’ll keep everyone posted. I thought about WordPress, but I’ve been having troubles with them lately. My Stats count won’t load half the time so I have no clear idea of how well the blog is doing or where the visits are coming from. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now.
I like the concept of the character blog! I will have to make a point and visit often. Best of luck in 2014, sir.
Thanks, I’ll be keeping everyone notified of when I put up a new entry. Take care.
