JK Allen wrote her first story when she learned how to write and hasn't looked back since. Common writing themes that can be found in her work address identity, everyday magic, and the type of strength and courage that can be found in ordinary people. Her reading tastes are as varied as the genres she enjoys writing, from Jane Austen to Diana Wynne Jones. When she's not writing, you can find her painting, drawing, or lost in the pages of a book.
