Spellswords (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781519671547)

Allen Snell was born on May 11, 1987 in the great(ly unknown) Baytown, Texas to Steve and Barbara Snell. Throughout his life, writing has been an on-and-off obsession. Allen dabbled with his first short stories throughout high school and started writing his first novel while at Johnson University. Since graduating in 2009 with a Youth Ministry degree, he's finished that book, Spellswords, and begun writing the sequel alongside other creative distractions. And because writing in third person is weird, please allow me to be more transparent. The art of story-crafting is first and foremost central to my own life. I want to live a good story if I'm going to have any chance of telling good ones. I believe people can change for the better. I believe those changes often require deep sacrifices. And I've seen firsthand that you should never underestimate a teenager hellbent on changing their world. Currently I live in Roanoke, Virginia working as a Manager for Star City Games and writing in my spare time as often as I can discipline myself. When I can't discipline myself, I'm probably playing games on Steam, marathoning a favorite TV show, or stumbling my way through a cover on www.youtube.com/barrelofjesus. And best of all, I'm marrying my favorite person in the world, my fiancée Molly Doyle, in April. So forgive my delay in delivering the next book. You know . . . priorities.
