Welcome - 5Ws About the Author and Books

Hello reader,

Allen W. McLean is an author of speculative fiction, poetry and reviews.

He was born and raised in the Canadian suburbs of Brampton Ontario, and identifies as non-binary.

His wife April produces music and art as Electric Armchair; at her behest, Allen began sharing poetry on his book reviews and releases for the HaikuPrajna Collection, a library of his study notes for readers who will never consume the stories just as much as they are for those who have or want to.

Obsessed with forming stories since playing pretend as a child, his fiction today focuses on transcending one’s hindrances, with ideas from metaphysics, theology, yoga, mindfulness, meditation, and is inspired by sci-fi, comics and manga.

Allen has released over a dozen books, and his Bite-sized Insights have been collected online, in print and in public libraries around the Toronto area.

Thank you for reading.

Hello reader,

Cold Cut Combo, BMT and Turkey Sandwiches so good we got them more than thrice! Always nice to see a fine-tuned system at work.

Employees are nice and very generous with toppings. Each time, we ordered online, we had our extra requests followed, and we had our bag handed to us when they recognized us as we walked in!

We recommend using their deals and points too!

.

Thank you for reading,

Until next time!

Allen W. McLean
