Allan is a professional actor, educator, writer and former stand-up comedian. During his years on stage, he’s gotten to participate in countless battles—some even with other people—involving longswords, rapiers, daggers, staves, pistols, bottles, loaves of French bread and, of course, his grimy little fists. Allan is a lifelong fan of epic fantasy and horror, so you can just imagine how much he loves Grimdark. Allan lives in Seattle, within a few miles of the two richest men on Earth and can thereby assure you that there's no such thing as financial osmosis.
