Allen Ansel

Allen Ansel is an award winning author and a lifelong reader with a passion for science fiction and fantasy. Growing up, he dreamed of becoming a dinosaur (a childhood aspiration thankfully abandoned) and later, an astronaut, inspired by his love of science fiction and his fascination with space. Growing up, he spent countless hours at his local museum, captivated by the planetarium shows and exhibits of Earth's past. These early experiences ignited a lifelong passion for space exploration and have kept his imagination fueled with all things space.

He holds a degree from Pacific Lutheran University, where he studied Economics, History, and Literature, finding inspiration for his stories in the rich tapestry of the past.

Born and raised in Bozeman, Montana, Allen currently resides there with his lovely wife, son, and dogs. He enjoys spending time outdoors and cherishes moments with his family and friends. When not writing, he works in the purchasing department for a local retailer.

Book Two of the Draconis Series is planned for mid-to-late-2025.

If you see him around town, stop and say hello! He's always eager to discuss his books and connect with fellow readers.
