AM Allen

Not good at writing about myself but here we go...I am a closet writer, not very many of my friends are aware I do this...since by day I am a mild, mannered Business Analyst/Project Manager working in a cubicle.  I've been told that in comparison to my usual demeanor, the way I write for my characters can be shocking, sarcastic and maybe a little dark...well, to each their own :-)  Everybody has a dark side, I guess.  Mine comes through vicariously through my characters and their stories. 

Some of the things that make me who I am...I've lived all over the country thanks to my Dad's job, and have been the newbie so many times I've lost count.  Changed careers a few times, changed educational pursuits a few times...still move around the country quite often...not because I have to, but because I want to.  I can be quiet and intense, maybe even brooding...but I am very rarely without a smile on my face, because I find people, places and things too humorous not to laugh about it.   

Writing has always been a passion of mine, I put a lot of myself and my life experiences into my characters, there are quite a few parallels, as you will be able to identify after reading some of my work.  

Traveling is my 2nd passion, and I get away at every opportunity...regardless of time or circumstance, if there is money in my checking account and vacation time still in my queue, I can guarantee there will be some far flung adventure in the future.  Maybe I should be a travel writer...missed that career choice!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my work, and appreciate feedback...good or bad...really....I mean that...you can stop snickering at anytime...
