Blake Allwood was born in West Tennessee, then moved to Kansas City, Missouri, after attending college in Iowa. He met his quirky yet beloved husband in 1995. When gay marriage was legalized, they officially tied the knot. In 2017, they sold their home, purchased an RV, and embarked on an adventure traveling across the country. Their travels provide the inspiration and settings for many of Blake’s novels.

Typically, Blake can be found writing feverishly in the RV or editing away by an outdoor fire with his laptop and Denver, their Siberian Husky mix, asleep at his feet or playing tug of war with Blake’s husband.
