    Shaun Allan

    Shaun Allan is a Wattpad Star, featured author and Wattys winner. Having appeared on Sky TV to debate traditional vs electronic publishing against a major literary agent, he writes multiple genres, including young adult and childrens', but mainly delves into his Dark Half to produce psychological horror. He has worked with Universal, Goosebumps, Blumhouse and DC Comics and regularly holds writing workshops at local schools. Many of his personal experiences and memories are woven into the point of view and sense of humour of Sin, the main character in his best-selling novel of the same name, although he can’t, at this point, teleport.Shaun lives with his daughters and a manic dog called Ripley (believe it or not). He works full time, co-owns a barbers salon and writes in that breath between his heartbeats. Though his life might, at times, seem crazy, he is not.Honest.

      A Bit Of A Zit

      It started off

      As a bit of a zit.

      A bit of a zit,

      That’s it.

      It was a little bit red,

      With not much of a head,

      And not really sore,

      Really, nothing at all.

      At least,

      That’s what it was like,

      When you went to bed…

      But then you had to

      What do you mean ‘What?’?

      And pile on top of each other

      Under the covers,

      In secret,

      In the dark,

      Just for a lark?

      Probably not.

      But you never know…

      ‘Cos

      When you woke up

      The itching began.

      Just a little at first,

      But it soon got much worse.

      You knew you should leave it,

      But you couldn’t believe it

      When you looked at your chin

      And, from its humble beginnings,
