Alana is a romantic fantasy author who wrote her first book whilst she was supposed to be studying for university exams. She writes stories about characters whose flaws don't define them, and who strive for independence and love in worlds full of magic, monsters, war and the occasional animal companion.

As a self-proclaimed nerd, she grew up with an overactive imagination, telling herself stories before she even knew writing could be a profession. Now she spends her time bringing those stories to life as a proud world builder.

When she isn't writing, she is collecting teapots, indulging in her latest TV show obsession, debating the merits of the slow burn villain in literature and manifesting her books on the New York Times Best Seller List.
