C.C. Allentini

During the start of Allentini’s career as a writer, several publishing opportunities presented themselves but the options were often not in the author’s best interest to accept. He found it tempting to dwindle in and out of information technology, chasing a declining dream of climbing the corporate ladder in environments that really had no answers for him.
