Fiction writer and editor
You've just surfed onto the official page of Trina Allen. I am hard at work writing my thriller novel and working on a short story collection.
Pig in a Poke magazine
I am the fiction editor and Web master of Pig in a Poke magazine. "The New Porker" is back from the dead ... just when you thought we were bacon! Harry Calhoun, the publisher of the '80s underground magazine Pig in a Poke, has resurrected the magazine.
In its heyday back in the 1980s, "The Pig" featured work by Charles Bukowski, Jim Daniels, Louis McKee, Lyn Lifshin, Judson Crews and many more. In 2010, we’re bringing you a literary journal in electronic format that is striving for that same quality.
