Asher Allen worked as a journalist in the Navy, deploying to the Middle East and visiting ports around the world as he wrote. While stationed for a year on the remote island of Diego Garcia, he found time to write a novel (when he wasn’t reading Treasure Island on the white-sand beaches or palavering with giant coconut crabs).

Allen now focuses primarily on fiction, ranging from mermaid romance to brutal sci-fi survival. He has worked as a ghostwriter, but he’s alive as he writes this (though talking about himself in the third person, for some reason).

He likes to use em dashes—he was doing so even as a kid—so he won’t be giving them up just because AI started imitating his style.

While there wasn't much that was particularly original about this fantasy adventure, the author nevertheless managed to imbue the old tropes and stereotypes with enough vim to make them feel relatively fresh. At the very least, it was a fu

Great atmosphere. I enjoyed it more than The Willows.
Morcant by Asher   Allen
"My favorite of the author's so far. Really liked the choice of POV character, and the philosophical direction the story took. Really short, but it used its length to its advantage."

Quite wholesome, but it stretches the bounds of believablity on too many fronts.

I totally respect the high standard of forgiveness amongst the Amish. I wish it was the standard for all Christians.
However, I cannot respect their idea of nonresistance. I find it appalling that any man could fail to violently resist anyone trying

Such a wealth of well-researched information. I especially appreciated the strong arguments against dualism and the counter emphasis on God's complete control over all his creatures, even those called gods/elohim. ...more
