Chris Allen is an Australian thriller writer, based in Sydney, Australia. A former paratrooper, Allen has also served as Security Manager for the international aid agency CARE in Timor Leste; with the Australian Protective Service; and for the NSW Government as Head of Security for the Sydney Opera House and as Sheriff of NSW. He self-published his first novel, Defender of the Faith, in 2011. That book was successful enough that he was offered a book deal with Pan Macmillan's digital imprint Momentum. In February 2012 Allen entered into contracts for two books with Momentum. In 2014 Allen was contracted for a further two books with Momentum.
Career
Allen served in three Commonwealth armies on four continents before leaving the military due to injuries. Following retirement from the army, he led security operations for an international aid agency in East Timor in 1999. Post 9/11, he served within Australia's government protective security and law enforcement environment. He was recruited to take over the protection of Sydney's Opera House after the 'No War' incident of 2003. In 2008 he was appointed Sheriff of New South Wales, a post he held until 2011.
Allen was born in Devizes, Wiltshire, and began his junior career with his local Devizes under-9s team before joining the youth set-up at Swindon Town. Allen captained Swindon's youth team to the quarter-final stages of the 2007 FA Youth Cup, in which they were eliminated by Newcastle United after Allen was sent off near the beginning of extra time. Manager Paul Sturrock offered Allen a two-year professional deal which was signed in May 2007. He made his Swindon Town debut in the 4–1 win against Brentford in the Football League Trophy in September 2007, and made his Football League debut three months later, on 8 December in the starting eleven for an away game against Southend United which Swindon won 2–1. He made 16 appearances in first-team competitions before being released in May 2009.

Lyrics:
She works hard for the money
So hard for it honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
So hard for it honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
Onetta there in the corner stand
And wonders where she is and
Its strange to her
Some people seem to have everything
Nine a.m. on the hour hand
And shes waiting for the bell
And shes looking real pretty
Just wait for her clientele

Lyrics:
Sometimes we fall down and can't get back up
We're hiding behind skin that's too tough
How come we don't say I love you enough
'Til it's too late, it's not too late
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
And we could make a feast from these crumbs
And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you, what would you wish you would've done
Yeah gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given here
This is all we got then we gotta start thinkin' it
Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying oh
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or to throw it all away
Gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying oh

Twenty five years have
Come and gone
And she seen a lot of tears
Of the ones who come in
They really seem to need her there
Its a sacrifice working day to day
For little money just tips for pay
But its worth it all
Just to hear them say that they care
She works hard for the money
So hard for it honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
She already knows
Shes seen her bad times
She already knows
These are the good times
Shell never sell out
She never will
Not for a dollar bill
She works hard
She works hard for the money
So hard for it honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
