Hello! I'm Sandy Allen.
I'm an author, journalist and essayist.
I tend to write and talk about normalcy, especially to do with madness and gender.
My first book is called A Kind of Mirraculas Paradise: A True story about Schizophrenia, which was published by Scribner. It's about my Uncle Bob.
Here are some FAQs about AKOMP, Uncle Bob and me.
You can do other things at this website like...
