Michael Allen
Michael Allen is the author of Thoughts and Reconsideration, A Danger to Society and When You Miss Me. His works show his wide range of writing from a novel to a children s book, and now a journey in poetry. He makes readers laugh and he makes them think, which is all he ever wanted to do since he picked up his first pen at the age of six. His articles polish his thoughts as he s working through a manuscript so he practically invites interaction from his readers as he explores what he has affectionately termed the Deeper Downs. His latest work Thoughts and Reconsideration showcases such favorites as In Memory of An Angel, I m the Only, and My Broken Piano along with other poems never previously published. You can view each of his books as well as his many other writings at http://michaelallenonline.com.
