The important stuff
Hey! My name’s Allen. I’m the author of two books, The London Cheque (2024) and The Gambit (2015). I started writing stories when I was 11 years old, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
I’m currently seeking literary representation for a dystopian thriller, Underbelly and working on the first book of a trilogy, a suspense romance titled Seven Spared.
The twenty-somethings
After working in hospitality for several years, I enrolled in community college at 22 and ultimately transferred to The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I received a bachelors in Journalism and Media Production.
My studies in film production, screenwriting, and marketing spurred a passion for video storytelling. While the majority of my portfolio centers around corporate work, I’ve worked on some short films and other passion projects as well.
In the summer of 2015, I took a one-way ticket to Europe alone and spent 39 days Couchsurfing across 9 countries.
This experience abroad affected me deeply, and inspired my love of travel. I’ve been to 17 countries and plan to visit more in the future.
