Promises (ePub)

Maurice Allen is the name chosen by the author, partly because he thinks it sounds more "literary" and partly because, due to the controversial content of his novels Rogue Element and PROMI$E$, he fully expects that will lead to some form of reprisal.

Born a long time ago, he can vaguely remember the end of World War II, in Grafton, New South Wales, and was raised in Sydney. He is the youngest son of a train driver. He escaped from high school to pursue a career as a plumber. Following a couple of near-death experiences and suffering from the usual chronic lower back pain and crook knees associated with that career, he made a quantum career shift by joining the Australian Public Service. After setting a record as the longest serving noncareer public servant in the public service, he left to become a chauffeur. He is now retired and living by a beach in South Australia with his two miniature schnauzers.

He has developed his writing style over several years by contributing short stories to a website where they have been open to criticism. Through this he has developed a readership that has encouraged his efforts. "Thought provoking" and "entertaining" are the most common comments. It has been at these readers' suggestion that his works are worthy of publication that has led him to this next phase of his literary career.
