Background
Information
|
|
Alan's mother and grandmother wrote articles and poetry, so it's no surprise that Alan took after them. His preferred area for fiction is the mystery, since he is an avid puzzle solver, but he has also done a number of long walks (the coast of California, and from Los Angeles to Denver) and writes on walking as well. Alan lives on a hilltop in Southern California with his wife.
