  <about><![CDATA[Jeffrey B. Allen lives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where he consults in the field of architectural design, although most of his time is devoted to writing. He is a member of the Lehigh Valley Writers Symposium, a contributing author for the Lehigh Valley Home and Living Examiner and a contract edition editor for Awareness Audiobooks. 
Allen holds his 50-ton Coast Guard Captain’s license and has captained numerous ocean-going sailing adventures. In 2006, Mr. Allen was awarded the Holt Businessman of the Year award by the Upper Bucks Chamber of Commerce. GoneAway is quickly being accepted by school boards, English departments, church groups, libraries, and community outreach organizations as a unique way to invoke meaningful and productive discussion about some of the problems that plague our modern society.
