Justin Allen fantasy authorJustin Allen was born in 1974 in Boise, Idaho. He grad­u­ated from Boise State Uni­ver­sity with a degree in phi­los­o­phy, and from Colum­bia Uni­ver­sity with an MFA in fic­tion. Besides writing fiction, Justin is also an active dancer, hav­ing per­formed with such com­pa­nies as Dances Patrelle, Eidolon Bal­let, and Idaho Dance The­atre. In 2009, his work in writ­ing and dance came together in the form of a new bal­let, “Mur­der at the Masque: The Case­book of Edgar Allan Poe,” with chore­og­ra­phy by Fran­cis Patrelle, music by Patrick Soluri, and all based upon an orig­i­nal story by Justin Allen. For 2010 he has been com­mis­sioned to pro­duce a sec­ond story for bal­let, this time for Eidolon Bal­let, to be called “The Beat­i­tudes,” which will be chore­o­graphed by Melanie Cortier. Justin’s wife is a social worker. Learn more at Justin Allen’s website.
