Allan is a professional actor, educator, writer and former stand-up comedian. During his years on stage, he's gotten to participate in countless battles - some even with other people - involving longswords, rapiers, daggers, staves, pistols, bottles, loaves of French bread and, of course, his grimy little fists. Allan is a lifelong fan of epic fantasy and horror, so you can just imagine how much he loves Grimdark. His most recent book imagines what Shakespeare might have experienced had he travelled to the New World...and met a monster! His books are available in paperback and kindle formats on Amazon. Allan lives in Seattle with his wife, his cats and his son nearby.
