D. H. Allen is a young dude trapped in an old nerd’s body. Yikes! A veteran, he enjoys reading historic novels, swashbuckling adventure tales, whodunit, gardening, stained glass, writing, movies, and traveling. Loves music, almost all genres, and dances like crazy when no one is looking. He cooks without recipes, and makes a mean Chesapeake chowder. Allen lives with his first (and last) wife of many, many years in central Virginia in a cottage in the woods. And their little dog too.

My Next Novel - A Work in Progress
Eternal August
He promised he would die for her.
He promised he would love her for eternity.
He could only keep one vow.
He promised he would love her for eternity.
He could only keep one vow.
The more August Cesare, the new guy in town, tries to keep a low profile after a public confrontation with the local ruffians the weaker he appears. They assume August is an easy mark for their malicious entertainment. Big mistake!
August, an immortal warrior with surprising abilities, has fallen head-over-heels for Sadie, a modern small town girl, and when she doesn’t think ‘he’s all that’, well…!
Trying to deal with the local thugs, a woman who steals his heart, his three meddling parents who are beyond ordinary, and others out to get him because they view him as an abomination, August isn’t sure how much longer he can keep who he is hidden from mortals.
When attempts to get to August put Sadie in danger… things are about to change.

Reading, Writing, & Rating
Wikipedia describes Shelfari as: 'A social cataloging website for books. Shelfari users build virtual bookshelves of the titles they own or have read, and can rate, review, tag, and discuss their books. Users can also create groups that other members may join, create discussions, and talk about books, or other topics. Recommendations can be sent to friends on the site for what books to read.'
Because I enjoy reading and writing I joined the online community of Shelfari where I can share what others are reading and discussing.
