D. Allen Rutherford is a former army officer and a retired international technology consultant with a B.S. and Masters degree. Settling down in central Arkansas, D. Allen taught a year as an adjunct professor and three years as a science teacher in secondary education before deciding to devote his time and energy to writing science and historical fiction novels.

Combining his interest in science with his love of writing, D. Allen attempts to create science fiction novels that blur the line between modern science and science fiction. Layered within his stories are issues associated with controversial scientific research, leaving the reader to wonder, "is this really possible," opening the doors to moral and ethical debate.

Before I sit down to write a story/novel I have a clear picture in my head as to what the story is about and how I want it to play out. When developing the plot for the story I journal thoughts and ideas, names of characters, descriptions of place, etc. I sometimes scan the internet for pictures & images that reflect the visual images of who/what I want to portray in the story. These help create references for me to draw upon when writing. When I do get to a cross-road in the story and I'm not sure which way I want to take the storyline, I sleep on it. When I'm laying in bed I try to visualize the story in my head as if it were a movie and watch how it plays out. Then the next morning I start writing it down.(less)

Anita Desai
“Isn't it strange how life won't flow, like a river, but moves in jumps, as if it were held back by locks that are opened now and then to let it jump forwards in a kind of flood?”
