I’m Michael!

Hey! I’m Michael (S.) Allen.

I don’t exactly come from a lineage of writers, but my family does have a long history of talking too long over a pan of biscuits or a churn of ice cream, and I figure I get my love for story-telling from that.

Nostalgia is my muse, but I write because I believe we’re made in the image of a creator, and paying attention to each other is our best way of catching a glimpse of a kingdom.

I’m married to that pretty girl, Kate, over there—and we live in Raleigh, NC with our cats Chance and Kiwi.

If you’re here, I love you and I mean it. Thank you for supporting me :-)
