Steve Allen has been a student of writing for several decades. His first foray into the art was at the age of 11, when he wrote, edited, and published The Martian Tribune, a two-page science fiction tabloid typed on a Smith-Corona typewriter with carbon paper and onion skin paper. Publication ceased after the fourth exciting issue, due to a severe lack of subscribers. A few years ago, Steve was editor and publisher of Door County Travelers Journal in Door County, Wisconsin and wrote many feature stories for the online publication. His fascination with Door County life, local history, and the little Holy Nativity Church in Jacksonport combined to compel him to write the story of Pris Parker and her friends and family. Pris Parker and the Door County Ghost begins in 1918.
