R. Allen (Flash!) Jervis was born a small grey alien on the south side of the Kanawha Valley to a coal miner’s daughter and the son of a son of a sailor. He got out as fast as his little webbed feet would take him. He is the author of “Them that Live Below” a dark urban fantasy set in the Lost World of 1970’s West Virginia. To maintain a safe distance he now lives in the shadow of Stonehenge near Salisbury, UK. He is kept on this mortal coil by the joint efforts of a Jane Austen scholar and his cat/co-authoress Mitzi.
