About the Geek

The name’s Davis–Allegra Davis. I’m a teen writer and the author of various and sundry stories, poems, and bits of flash fiction; a piece of macabre fiction of mine has appeared in Black Lantern Publishing. I’m currently sort-of editing my first novel while planning on starting a new one for NaNoWriMo. On August 12, 2011, my post“America’s Next Top Author (and other fantasy programs for book lovers)” (originally on my previous blog, Here’s To Us) was featured on WordPress.com’s homepage as Freshly Pressed. If you must know, I live in the United States. I tweet @ThatAllegraD.
