His first novel is The Killer Wore Tights, a detective novel set in Orlando, Florida.After birth in Atlanta, Georgia, and primary and secondary education in Raleigh, North Carolina, Alan pieced together the academic credits for his undergraduate degree in History from Florida State University in 1982 with one year at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; one year at the University of Florida; a year of language training at the Defense Language Institute at the Presidio of Monterey, during a four year enlistment in the United States Air Force; and a final eighteen months at Florida State.Alan followed this up with six years of graduate school in Sociology at Florida State University, where he earned a Masters of Science in Sociology, and joined the swollen ranks of graduate students who completed all the requirements for a Ph.D. except the dissertation. He then earned a J.D. at Boalt Hall, U.C.-Berkeley's law school. He practiced law for seven years in Tallahassee, Florida; eight years in Orlando, Florida; and three years in New York, New York.Alan currently resides in Orlando, Florida, but rarely visits the nearby tourist attractions. His interests other than writing include bicycle riding, photography, science, and ballroom dancing.view less
