Austin Allen was born in Northern Idaho before moving to Idaho Falls as an infant. He spent his childhood playing music, making movies and writing stories. While attending university, Austin became highly interested in Japanese language and culture, as well as philosophy. Both of these interests led him to pursue a bachelor's degree in philosophy, which he received in 2013. During his time as an undergraduate, Austin was overwhelmed by a concept for a novel that would combine his knowledge and love of philosophy, Japanese culture, and science fiction. After three years of writing, he finished his first full-length science fiction novel, "MONOLITH: or, the Greatest Joke the Universe Ever Told." Having graduated from university, Austin is headed to law school to study copyright law. However, he is adamant that his career as a contributor to literature is far from over. See less
