Nick Allen

Nick Allen (1973 – present) was born a natural birth, having come out of the door instead the window. Every since then, however, he has respected locked doors, but has never let a good window go unwatched as he's observed the world as both a voyeur and an active participant, sometimes confusing the two along the way.

He is a patriot. A patriot so much that he feels it is his duty to capture as many voices of the past before they are long gone—including his own voice as he plans a no-holds-barred semi-autobiographical book about his young life as a funeral director and embalmer in the upcoming project, "True Confessions of a Teenage Body Snatcher." Until then, though, he is content with helping WWII veterans who fought in the Pacific Theater of Operations to tell their stories—making mortal men forever immortal.

Nick also enjoys comic book (as he has several of those in the works, as well), moon pies, exotic foods and travelling (excluding long walks on the beaches). He is the recipient of several online awards for short fiction, and his first book, "Battleground Pacific: A Marine Rifleman's Combat Odyssey in K/3/5," written with Sterling Mace, a rifleman who fought at Peleliu and Okinawa was published by St. Martin's Press in May 2012.

So you wanna be a rock n' roll star?

Nick is only 38.
