Under the Bleachers PROMOS!Heyyy! Want some insight into the mind of a writer before a new release? It's AGONY, pure and simple. There is so much going on. So many moving parts. So many people involved. And there's always that voice in the dark corner of your brain telling you how much you stink at life. No joke. I have to bat that voice away constantly. Luckily, I continue to win the battle! But I couldn't do it if it weren't for my readers <3 You all are the BEST a girl could ask for. So I want to share some of the FUN STUFF with you. Because even though there are crazy times in this writing journey, there are SO MANY MORE awesome times. Creating promos and getting to share them with you all is one of my favorite things.
Here are some promos from Under the Bleachers, just the ones I've released so far. If you're looking for new ones, you'll want to join my fan group on Facebook, Forever Young With K.K. That's where the goods are hiding :) Enjoy! Much Love, K.K.

Under the Bleachers is almost here!!! You GUYS! <3Sorry for screaming at you in bold. I'm so excited. Man has this story grown on me. It started out an innocent sports romance, but I've realized something writing this book. I can plan all I want, but my stories will always change DRASTICALLY. And this one did. Wow. Annnnd. I love it so much. These characters are probably my two favorite characters I've ever written. Strong to a fault. Sassy, which is my favorite kind of funny. And crazy talented at what they do. There is so much to share, but I'm not going to do it here. If you are EAGERLY awaiting this release, join my reader group on Facebook. I'm dishing ALL the sneaky goods over there ;) JOIN HERE! What am I working on now?Yes! There's a new book in the works. Actually, I have a few :/ I can't decide which one I want to start on, so I've decided to table the decision until Under the Bleachers releases. I will tell you that there is going to be a third novel in the BelleCurve series (Up in the Treehouse, Under the Bleachers, Untitled). There will also be another Summer Solstice Novel, but I have not started writing it yet. Sorry guys, but Contemporary Romance is hot on my brain right now. Annnnnd, I have a Romance Suspense that is ready to burst from me...I've been sitting on it for six months now and I don't think I can wait anymore.

Fun and flirty Monica Stevens lives for chocolate, fashion, and boys … in that order. And she doesn’t take life too seriously, especially when it comes to dating. When a night of innocent banter with Seattle’s hottest NFL quarterback turns passionate, she fears that everything she once managed to protect will soon be destroyed. Seattle’s most eligible bachelor, Zachary Ryan, is a workaholic by nature, an undercover entrepreneur, and passionate about the organizations he supports. He’s also addicted to Monica, the curvy brunette with a sassy mouth—and not just because she tastes like strawberries and chocolate. She’s as challenging as she is decadent, as witty as she is charming, and she's the perfect distraction from the daily grind. While Monica comes to a crossroads in her life, Zachary becomes an unavoidable obstacle, forcing her to stop hiding under the bleachers and confront the demons of her past. But as their connection grows stronger, she knows it only brings them closer to their end. It’s time to let go. To have a future, we must first deal with our pasts. But what if the two are connected?

So excited to share more about Under the Bleachers with you all. Much Love, K.K. #LoveisLouderIt's true. Love is louder. I wanted to get involved somehow and show my support to one of the many awesome organizations that supports compassion, whether it be bullying, negative self-image, discrimination, loneliness, or depression. In all aspects, the #LoveisLouder movement turns up the volume on one of the toughest conversations for teens, parents, and communities as a whole. Guess what? Bringing awareness to an issue is only the beginning, but it's a huge step in the right direction. Love is Louder is a project of the Jed Foundation, created with actress Brittany Snow to support anyone feeling mistreated, misunderstood, or alone. I hope you'll help me in supporting an important movement. I've started an action page and you can access it below to learn more.

Say goodbye to the old...And helllllooo...to the new <3OMG. That's beautiful! Welcome to All the Stuff =) because that's what we will be talking about up in this space. But why the new website, K.K.??So much has changed in my book world in the past year. If you're relatively new to "me" then you might not know that when I first started publishing my work, I was writing young adult fiction. At the time, I had no intention of switching genres. By the end of 2015, when I was wrapping up The Descendants, the last book in the Summer Solstice trilogy, I started to think about what I wanted to write next. Truth be told, I rarely read fantasy books! I'm more of a Contemporary Romance reader, and always have been. Nicholas Sparks, who I talk about in pretty much every interview I'm in, is a huge inspiration for me. Wanna know a secret?The Summer Solstice Enchanted was originally a Contemporary Romance story, but I couldn't do it. I was too shy to write romance! This is one of the many reasons the romance takes a backseat in the first book, but then you slowly see it start to emerge throughout the series :) Well, there ya go :)At the end of the day, romance is where my heart is. Those who have read Up in the Treehouse may already know this <3 That story had my heart and I am so proud of what it became and the amount of love it's received! You all are amazing; bloggers, readers, the author community. I've truly been blessed throughout this experience. Romance vs. Fantasy - Work in ProgressAs some of you have already picked up on (hehe), there will be a companion novel to Up in the Treehouse. This story will focus on a different couple, but some of our faves will definitely be making an appearance or two. The novel has a tentative title, and all things are in the works. My plan is to get this in your hands this Winter! So wish me luck as I crawl back into my writing cave. For my Fantasy fans! Don't go thinking the Summer Solstice Series is done. No way. There is so much more to tell, and the next book in the series is being outlined now. I can't say any more than this...just, get ready... Get to the point K.K.!Okay, okay! This website is a place I want you all to come back to so that you can always have the latest information. Those who subscribe to my newsletter and follow me on Facebook will always hear the news first. But this is a space where, if you missed anything, you'll find it easily. I'm not going to lie, guys, it's tough finding time to do everything, and I often feel guilty for not writing books (like now!). I needed to update this website of mine to make my life easy, lol. It's cleaner! Happier! There's even a place where you can leave a comment below! And now that I've started booking events, that information is clearly visible. Annnnd my favorite feature of this new space, is the landing page. You get to choose what books you want to see: Romance or Fantasy. I'm also working on another page focused on books I LOVE that you will love too! I know what it's like after finishing an amazing book and immediately searching for more just like that. If you love any one of my books, I will have the perfect recommendation for you :) So stay tuned for that. Make sure to leave a comment below <3Let me know what you think of the new site! All opinions welcome. <3 you guys!!
COVER REVEAL for Soaring (a short story) by K.K. AllenI'm happy to announce that my short story, Soaring, will be available for free download and print purchase very soon! Originally part of the Echoes of Winter anthology, it's being re-released for multiple reasons:
#1 - You asked, and you shall receive ;) #2 - I desperately wanted print copies for giveaways #3 - It needed a cover! #4 - As much as I love my anthology sisters (and brother), my story was toward the end of the compilation which makes it hard for people to get to, and this story is begging to be read #5 - Every story, short or long, deserves to shine Have you read Soaring? Download a free copy of the new version anyway! Every download counts toward helping me find new readers. Haven't read Soaring yet? Here's a description for you: On an Alaskan cruise in the dead of winter, Emma and Luke find each other under the aurora borealis, a phenomenon that bonds them in the most unlikely of ways. While Luke teaches Emma what it means to soar, she gives him a reason to stay grounded, but as their journey nears its end memories of a forgotten past surfaces, challenging their future—if a future for them still exists. DOWNLOAD LINK: smarturl.it/Soaring Annnnnd. HERE'S THE COVER! Isn't it beautiful? Mirella Santana did a fabulous job, as always <3 NEW BOOK NEWS! An Emotionally Beautiful & Edgy RomanceI am so excited to announce the release of my new book, coming to you late Spring / early Summer. It's almost ready! It's been a busy few weeks for me as I wrapped up my final edits. Today I sent it off to my editor and some Beta readers—all of which I adore to pieces for enjoying my work enough to want to read the crappy versions ;) I've always wanted to publish a Contemporary Romance story, but this one is a little edgier than I imagined myself writing. What can I say? I love creating intense characters. UP IN THE TREEHOUSE is a beautiful love story that begins with a childhood friendship that becomes complicated over the years leaving disaster and heartache in its wake. Walking away may be their only option at the time, but four years later they are forced to come to terms with all that has transpired. This story is about deep connections, secrets, hard choices, love, art and passion. "Sometimes the tornadoes of life vacuum us up and chuck us onto unfamiliar ground. We can work toward building a sturdier foundation or let the dirt settle over us in defeat." - K.K. Allen, Up in the Treehouse I'll be ramping up the teasers and setting up cover reveals, launch date reveals, and so on. Definitely stay tuned, and if you haven't signed up for my mail list, do that too!

Not only is this a professional milestone in my writing career, but it's the third book in the Summer Solstice Series, a series that has grown in so many ways since June 2014.
