Really excited to announce that my 18th century True Crime Thriller, "Colt" was just selected by Southern Oasis Film Festival. #scriptsky #filmsky

Received an email this morning from a notable actor who has interest in my Cherokee folklore horror feature, “Spearfinger”. Sent the script, now it’s time to say a prayer and wait! #filmsky #scriptsky

Looking forward to April! Come get spooky with me in Knoxville!

Emboldened by placing in the Filmmatic Horror Screenplay competition, I fired off a query email last night. When I woke up this morning I got a request for my SPEARFINGER script! Hit send. Pray. Wait… #filmsky #scriptsky

The first competition I entered SPEARFINGER in and it places in the quarterfinals. Excited for the future of my Cherokee folklore horror feature! #scriptsky #filmsky

Really excited for SPEARFINGER, my thriller feature based off a terrifying Cherokee folklore. Need to get this one in the right hands! #scriptsky #filmsky

I’ve been tinkering with my historical thriller, “Pistols at Red River”today. Finally made a poster. Logline: When hot-headed sharpshooter Charles Dickinson insults Andrew Jackson's wife, a fierce rivalry ignites, leading the future President to a high-stakes duel. #scriptsky #filmsky

I just wanted a Coke. Instead I got a Strawberry-Lime-Licorice-Vanilla carbonated concoction. Whoever invented the Freestlye machine should have their ear nailed to the pillory in the town square.

First time at a restaurant that’s about to robbed! #filmsky

I’m really excited to announce that I will be at the Knoxville Book Festval in April! Come grab a book and say hello! #booksky

My historic thriller” Colt” is a semifinalist in the Filmmatic Pitch Now screenplay competition! As the clock ticks down to his date on the gallows, John Colt awaits his fate in the dreaded New York City Tombs. Can his brother, American icon, Samuel Colt find a way to get him out? #scriptsky

Had a good time on the Paranormal Spectrum talking grave robbing, ghost stories and galvanism! #paranormal www.youtube.com/live/jwiedur...

#ThrillerscriptThursday SPEARFINGER A grieving detective uncovers a chilling connection between a series of brutal murders and a legendary creature from Cherokee folklore, forcing him and his family to confront ancient vengeance and their town's buried secrets. #scriptsky #filmsky #screenwriting

Drawing with the little one tonight. Ratatouille!

Dude’s got a valid point but it’s probably not the best time... Let’s put out the fires in LA and then turn our attention on getting more SEC teams in the college football playoff.

It’s hard being a writer. I was over the moon about placing as a semi-finalist in the Fade Out True Story competition so I sent it to the Blacklist. Got a 5… Oh well, On to the next… #scriptsky #filmsky

Did you know Nashville had a haunted theme park? Check it out in my book “Southern Ghost Stories: Opryland”! Southern Ghost Stories: Opryland a.co/d/8BpmRmK

Got some encouraging news last night. Two of my features, “Old Man Dead” and “Colt” advanced in the Horror2Comic Screenwriting Competition! Both of these would make a really fun graphic novel. #scriptsky #filmsky

Starting the new year off with a small win! Made the quarterfinals in the Emerging Screenwriters Screenplay Competition. Old Man Dead is coming for you in 2025! #scriptsky #filmsky

Over the weekend I was at a convention in Huntsville. A guy walked up and said, “I heard you were gonna be here. I want to get a book.” I’m not a celebrity by any means so I asked him how he knew.

Rocket City Horror- Day 2!

Come out to Rocket City Horror and grab a book!

I recently won a free copy of Final Draft 13 through a screenwriting competition. I already have the software & want to give it away to a writer who needs it. If it can help you or someone else you know, mention them in the comments. I’ll pick someone randomly Friday afternoon. #scriptsky #filmsky

Come out and see me at Rocket City Horror Con this weekend in Huntsville, Alabama. I’ll be signing books and telling stories about spooky things…

2025- Just think of the possibilities!

I’ve been drawing with my little boy again…

I enter one freakin’ screenwriting competition on FilmFreeway and now I get 10 emails a day offering discounts to every single “IMDb qualifying” contest in the world… #scriptsky #filmsky

My 19th century grave robbing feature, “Old Man Dead” has had quite the year. It’s based on the life of notorious body snatcher William Cunningham. I’ve had some discussion with producers and I’m really excited to see what 2025 brings! #scriptsky #filmsky #screenwriting

The lack of self-belief is essentially stealing from yourself.

Really excited to announce I’ll be speaking at the Midwest MetaParacon in Eau Claire, Wisconsin April 11-13! You can get 10% off tickets by using my promo code ALLENMETAPARACON www.simpletix.com/e/midwest-me...

Three years ago I asked my sister-in-law what she wanted for Christmas. Her response? Fried Oreos. It’s still a time-honored tradition in the Sircy home.

Merry Christmas to me! My 19th century grave robbing feature, “Old Man Dead” was named as a semifinalist in the Fade-In True Story/ Biopic Competition! #scriptsky #filmsky

Spent all of 2024 trying unsuccessfully to get my scripts into the right hands. And then- Last week I had meetings with two different production companies about making a docuseries out of my books. I suppose I could make a docuseries… #scriptsky #filmsky
