Latest Release: Orson Buggy's Lessons for Losers
Twelve-year-old Orson Buggy might have suffered every horse-and-buggy insult known to man, but that would require people talking to him.
Over the years he has acquired only a tiny group of friends. His uber-loser friends. The worst of the worst.
Now he has the chance to start over at a new school, without any of his loser friends holding him back.
If he can just keep people from finding out his name, he might have a shot at being normal for the first time in his life.
Why, then, within five minutes do people start thinking he’s some sort of jerk?
And why, by the end of the day, is everyone convinced Orson is the biggest deranged psycho-killer to ever roam the halls of
Hugh Morris Middle School? Orson’s about to learn that help comes from where he least expects it, and when it comes to friends,
new isn’t necessarily better.
Orson Buggy’s Lessons for Losers is a laugh-out-loud glimpse into one boy’s struggle with the absurdity of starting seventh grade.

Leap Day Release: How to Save a Kingdom
The Canarazas are fierce, razor-toothed warriors who can run much faster than a man, or more to the point, much faster than Greg.
Soon they will attack Pendegrass Castle, and according to prophecy, the "Hero who slayed Ruuan" will fight with the strength
of ten men and make the difference that leads the king to victory.
But no one slayed Ruuan. Greg knows the prophecy can't possibly be true--except, of course, for that one bit about him having to
fight the Canarazas.

Amazon Best Seller: How to Slay a Dragon
For a short time in July of 2011, How to Slay a Dragon, Book One of the Journals of Myrth
achieved the #1 Amazon ranking for all children's fiction. Here's a sampling of what people are saying about it:
There are so many fantasy books out there in the market today, that it’s very, very rare to get your hands on one that is so
different from the rest - with so many fun characters and a truly exciting plot - that when it does happen,
readers should flock to their bookstores...And Bill Allen has most definitely begun a series that is completely unique and
absolutely "flock-inducing."
How to Slay a Dragon is a wonderful quest fantasy starring the last person one would expect to wear the mantle of
prophesized hero saving the world from a powerful dragon.
-- Amazon #1 Reviewer
Harriet Klausner
...A combination of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Chronicles of Narnia and The Hobbit,
How to Slay a Dragon is a cute juvenile fantasy.
...a wordy adventure into the realm of fantasy steeped with enough action to draw you in
and enough word play to keep you thinking (and laughing) along the way.
...an exceptionally good book that anyone would find endearing.
...one of the best books for middle grades I have read in a long time.
| ...a wonderful book full of imagination and charm. |

...Mr. Allen grabs your attention at the very first chapter
and keeps Greg running all throughout the book.
|
...I will be waiting impatiently for the next installment. I love the comedy, the action and the surprise ending
to this clever story and hope Bill Allen will make a second journey to the land of Myrth.
