He has brought down the house at festivals like Transmusicales in Rennes, France and Central Park Summerstage. “His lyrics move you to a place somewhere between Billie Holiday’s God Bless the Child and Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On.” (Interview Magazine)

Jeffrey B. Allen, a former teacher within the Quakertown School district, and an architectural designer for twenty six years, was the recipient of the Upper Bucks Colonel Holt Business Achievement award, and is the holder of a 50 ton Coast Guard Captain’s license. He has written an epic novel that is being touted as one of the most unique works of fiction to come along in years. Allen calls his writing Socially Relevent Fantasy.

GoneAway Into the Land deals with the space that exists between life and death. It says that, in most cases, there is no such thing as death, as you will learn if you read the novel. The main character slips into that space without knowledge of having done so. It is an infinite space without time or universal cycles. The energy John carries with him seeks to cleanse itself of that which went wrong during his short life. Much went wrong for John, and for his family. He spends nearly the entire novel searching for answers while the dark forces continue their tireless work of poisoning the World. This is John’s journey into the Land; a twelve year old boy who grows in strength and character, but is he gone away?

The story’s entertainment value is enticing, but the book’s symbolism is inescapable. It’s an epic novel that has been described as a modern day Lord of the Rings. Fantasy and heart collide into a new genre in the first book of this promising series.

Attention Published Authors!

Every month we will choose THREE published authors for our January Book Signing in the Mezzanine at the Allentown BreWWorks.

Every month we will select a theme or topic for a workshop and round table discussion.

Bring your books and talk about the creative process, the mechanics of writing, the trials and tribulations of finding an agent and publisher and whatever happens next!

Bring along copies of your book to sign and sell to the rest of us in the mix.

Not yet a published author? Looking for a rare and special gift or a personal treasure? Come talk with the authors; ask your burning questions and take home a personally signed copy of some wonderful books by local authors.

Enjoy a great meal at the Allentown Brew Works, quaff some incredible brews. Make a night of it, meet some old friends. Make some new ones.
