Carmen Allen

Carmen Allen is an award-winning, best-selling author whose writing blends action, allegory, and faith. For years, she tucked her dream of becoming an author away in a drawer-convinced it wasn't possible. Then life took her through a long season of caregiving, loss, and grief. Writing became both her lifeline and her calling. Her middle-grade series, The Molly Greenwood Adventures, has reached thousands of young readers around the world, praised for its fast-paced, clean stories that nudge children toward courage, character, and hope. With her memoir, Carmen shares the other side of her story-the cost of holding onto a dream while walking through heartbreak. She now writes full-time from her home on the east coast of Australia, where she lives with her husband and childhood sweetheart, Steve. Together they treasure time with their two sons, daughters-in-law, a granddaughter, and two grandsons.
