SFF Author: Justin Allen

Justin Allen fantasy authorJustin Allen was born in 1974 in Boise, Idaho. He grad­u­ated from Boise State Uni­ver­sity with a degree in phi­los­o­phy, and from Colum­bia Uni­ver­sity with an MFA in fic­tion. Besides writing fiction, Justin is also an active dancer, hav­ing per­formed with such com­pa­nies as Dances Patrelle, Eidolon Bal­let, and Idaho Dance The­atre. In 2009, his work in writ­ing and dance came together in the form of a new bal­let, “Mur­der at the Masque: The Case­book of Edgar Allan Poe,” with chore­og­ra­phy by Fran­cis Patrelle, music by Patrick Soluri, and all based upon an orig­i­nal story by Justin Allen. For 2010 he has been com­mis­sioned to pro­duce a sec­ond story for bal­let, this time for Eidolon Bal­let, to be called “The Beat­i­tudes,” which will be chore­o­graphed by Melanie Cortier. Justin’s wife is a social worker. Learn more at Justin Allen’s website.

Year of the Horse: Humorous mix of historical western and fantasy

Year of the Horse by Justin Allen

Justin Allen’s Year of the Horse is one of the more original fantasy amalgamations I’ve come across — a mix of fantasy, historical western, and coming-of-age boys’ adventure tale peppered with some Devil and Daniel Webster / Washington Irving / Mark Twain / Zane Grey, and topped off by a heaping of multi-culturalism. Does it all work? Not in all places, but certainly often enough to keep the reader enjoyably engaged.

The story is told from the perspective of Yen-Tzu-lu (mostly known as Lu),
