Writing as A.F.Allen
Way back in the dim and distant past (well, maybe, years ago), I wrote a number of short stories for a now defunct American Publisher. these short stories were completely different form my normal genre of Alternative History, so they persuaded me to put them out under a pen name in order to differentiate them from my main body of work. Being a complete tyro at the time, I agreed and the alias A.F.Allen was born. I haven't written anything with this by-line for some time, but like old favourites they do still sell form time to time, and they are deserving on their own merit of a place on this site. If you do find one that interests you, please accept they are short, but on the plus side, also cheap.

Aphrodesia
Every two years they run a foot race in the magnificent stadium in Aphrodesia, the city of Aphrodite. Hermias, a young Greek from the faded city of Athens has set his heart on winning this race for both the personal glory for himself and the reflected glory for his city.
The prize for winning the race is incidental, the glory matters the most, but the nubile beauty who forms part of the prize may well change his mind, and far more besides.
