Originally from Oregon, Michael J. Allen is a pluviophile masquerading as a vampire IT professional in rural Georgia. Warped from youth by the likes of Jerry Lewis, Robin Williams, Gene Wilder and Danny Kay, his sense of humor leads to occasional surrender, communicable insanity, a sweet tooth and periodic launch into nonsensical song. He loves books, movies, the occasional video game, playing with his Labradors - Myth and Magesty. He knows almost nothing about music.
A recovering Game Master, he gave up running RPG's for writing because the players didn't play out the story in his head like book characters would - we know how that worked out.
Suddenly fresh out of teenagers, he spends his days writing in restaurants, people watching and warring over keyboard control with the voices in his head.

The Line Between Right And Wrong Is About To Become A War Zone...
Manc Shepherd is alive, desperate and mad as hedrin.
Before the hunt for payback even begins, the Corollas's deadliest killers target Manc as prey. Down to his last, most treacherous allies and his father's old fighters, Manc races against death to find the hapless boy who has endangered Manc's schemes by systematically foiling ambush, assassination, and betrayal.
Two problems stand in the way of Manc piecing back together his doomed, lifelong vendetta. Alaric Ignaree has vanished, and the kid reminds Manc of the father he is desperate to avenge.
Manc knows Alaric's weakness, but how far will Manc blur the line between hero and villain to achieve justice? Moreover, can he kill the boy that he always wanted to become?
