Author Biography
Allen Hartley has always been fascinated with ancient cultures and societies. He has spent decades researching the subject matter and continues to gravitate back to his favorites; the early societies of the Northern Celts, Nordics, and Egyptians. The past seven years, Allen has focused on the Runic scripts of these societies. In particular, their formations, vibrations, meanings, and usage. Allen has dual degrees in technology and engineering, spending more than eighteen years in research and development, system and network design, programming, integration and deployment, disaster recovery, and production support. Changing mindsets and styles from technical writing to fictional writing has been a tremendous challenge for Allen. With the technology bust of 2000 he left the technology field in 2002 to settle in North Idaho with his wife and son. For the past decade, Allen has continued to pursue his research and ideas as a series of books began to evolve. While his current employment requires extensive travel, it has also allowed him to begin his work in earnest on the first book, Secrets of the Soul in 2010. He is eager to start the next book of the series.
