Dusty Allen

So, I like to write. Unfortunately I don't have a ton of time to devote to my hobby. I'm a full-time dude married to a full-time woman with three young kids. I don't feel like my stuff will light the sky on fire, yet at the same time I selfishly don't want my work to go unseen by anybody.

I apologize for the rambling nature of this "about me" part, but to be absolutely transparent, I'm Indiana Jones-ing this thing in as much as making it up as I go along.  Part of this is that I do want to get better at getting myself out there, taking chances and whatnot, and this is something I've felt for a while I should try.

A little bit about myself for those with any inkling of interest:

My name is Dusty and I'm a Christian man who loves movies and stories of any medium. Books, comics, games, movies, whatever. There was a time in my life when I devoured things I loved, much like anybody in Geek culture. I'm a full-grown adult now with the responsibilities that come with, but there's still that part of my soul that latches onto the geek nature of myself. Part of that was regurgitating things I loved out into my own creative writing. None of this was done with any intention of it going anywhere in any sort of professional realm, just that it was my outlet to express things I loved in my own way. So yes, once again with the transparency, I did dabble in fan fictiony type of writing on the net way back in the day before it has become what it is now. For me, that was just fun, practicing what I loved to do with characters I liked. Not great, but there were people who liked the things that I liked that seemed to get a kick out of it.

I bring up that I'm a Christian for the simple fact that it does inform some of my writing. You might find things here that are purely Christian and a lot of things that aren't, but everything is informed by my belief system. I tend to enjoy writing about the fantastical, the creepy, or a combination of all that.

Prepare to wallow in mediocrity!
