Grab your copy of BLUE today and come meet me at Maggie Mae’s author event July 26th, 2025.
A middle grade novel for ecowarriors and outsiders (young and old), BLUE is set in rural Oregon. It follows one unique girl’s journey to owning who she truly is. As an earth empath, she has to navigate a world threatened by climate change.
“An effortless read, yet one with such powerful transformations for us to visualize that it is a wonder (Allen) managed to create this most deeply colorful world and all that exists within it in just these 216 pages,” Exclusive Magazine.
The Midwest Review “especially and unreservedly recommends BLUE for elementary school, middle school, and community library fantasy fiction collections for young reader ages 8-14.”
But wait there’s more! When you come to the author event, I’ll give you a copy of my Novel Writers Starter Kit, which has tips and advice for aspiring writers of all ages. I created the kit after speaking to students at Sandy High School.
