Alan Loewen<\/strong> describes himself as an author, storyteller and dreamer. He’s darned good at all three. He is a writer of dark tales and wonderful fantasy. He has a wry sense of humor with an edge and an imagination without limits–except for the dark corners. He is always entertaining and frequently challenging. Make sure you take along your grain of salt. A regular at Capclave and other fantasy conventions, he took part in a panel discussing Cthulhu at Capclave 2016 and recently gave an address at the Library of Congress.
