Allen F. Mahon has been a student of American history for most of his life. His first two novels, Gone Home for Angels and Embraced by Angels, were based on his ancestors who fought in the American Civil War. His writing style is very detailed and informative. The characters he creates are unforgettable and his stories flow from moment to moment. In his words... "I try to paint mental images with the words I choose.."His plans are to continue the McEwan saga for as far as it takes him. At the time of this publishing, Book 2 and Book 3 are under development.
