Kayelle Allen writes sci-fi, space opera, romance, and gay romance. Does she write happy ever afters? Some stories require endings that offer happy-for-now, or hopeful-for-the-future. But all provide endings that satisfy, and never leave you dangling over a cliff. She did a tour in the US Navy, where she climbed around airplanes (on the ground, thankfully) fixing black boxes that helped pilots find their way home. Kayelle wrote her first science fiction novel at eighteen and to this day, she hides it under the bed, where she vows it will remain. Gems from it, however, launched several series in her galaxy-wide universe of stories. From childhood, Kayelle was the victim of an overactive imagination and inherited the Irish gift of gab from her mother. From her father, she got a healthy respect for mechanical things. No wonder she writes Science Fiction and Fantasy peopled with misbehaving robots, mythic heroes, role playing immortal gamers, and warriors who purr. She's been married so long she's tenured.
