edit data

Author of the middle grade novels RELATIVELY NORMAL SECRETS (2021), THE SECRET BENEFITS OF INVISIBILITY (2022), and TALES OF THE FORGOTTEN FOUNDERS (2023).

C.W. Allen is a Nebraskan by birth, a Texan by experience, a Hoosier by marriage, and a Utahn by geography. She knew she wanted to be a writer the moment she read The Westing Game at age twelve, but took a few detours along the way as a veterinary nurse, an appliance repair secretary, and a homeschool parent.

She recently settled in the high desert of rural Utah with her husband, their three children, and a noisy flock of orphaned ideas. Someday she will create literary homes for all of them. (The ideas, not her family.)
