About the Book: An award winning science fiction/fantasy crossover reminiscent of the genres in the 1960s and 1970s before they got harsh, cold and violent. An epic space opera spanning multiple planets about discovering and accepting your true identity all tangled up in a thousand year old prophecy deemed a fairy tale by the very people it was meant to save. Only the one known as The Blood can save Lrakira's people from extinction . . . but is there time? The women of Lrakira have begun to die and the Stones have chosen Renloret to rescue Lrakira's only hope of survival, a five-year-old child living on Teramar. When his ship crashes on Teramar, Renloret races against time to find the child whose blood carries the cure for his people. But the child cannot be found, and to complicate matters, Renloret is falling in love with Ani, a female Teramaran blade ring champion with serious alien issues and her own need to be accepted for who she is. Renloret must choose between the survival of his species and the love of his life. The future of two worlds, Lrakira and Teramar, hang in the balance and everything depends on Renloret. "The Blood" is a multi-category winner, 3rd Place in Science Fiction and 3rd Place in Fantasy, in the 2014 Colorado Independent Publishers Association's EVVY Awards.

The characters of Ani, Kela, Taryn, and Renloret have never left her imagination or dreams and waited patiently until she was ready to share their worlds with you. When not writing, Allynn is an avid square dancer who, up to six nights a week by her husband's side actively participates in and teaches others the joy of the activity. She is also a big game hunter who manages to the freezer full of meat. The mother of three grown daughters, Allynn lives in Centennial, Colorado with her husband and partner, Bob.

Through a satisfying read that's well thought out, well-paced, and strongly character-driven, the tale combines the best of space opera with an intriguing paranormal twist that has the feel of a whole fantasy epic. That's a good thing for us, since this is the first book in a very promising series. Sure to find an enthusiastic audience." - Dr. Mark Todd, program director of Western State Colorado University's MFA in Creative Writing and author of SF and Fantasy, including the award-winning Silverville Saga series.
