Asher Allen is a lifelong teller of tales, both the fanciful and the factual. He studied journalism at the Defense Information School, and traveled the world chronicling true stories during his time as a military journalist. Now a dedicated fictionist, he writes in a variety of genres, with a focus on the fantastical.
In addition to works written under his own name, Allen has used various pseudonyms and has also worked as a ghostwriter.
