JL Allen

Aboot the Author

JL Allen came to Earth, scientists believe, on an asteroid that collided with our planet several million years ago. He has since devolved into a sentient being that is capable of questioning  existence and the purpose of all reality. 
To help cope with this terrifying situation, he began obsessively making up stories (comedy and science fiction). Eventually, he was even able to convince other people to pretend that they were the characters in these tales and  to reenact them at great length in front of other human beings, which is always a good time.
