Alana joined us at the 26th Apr 2026 Festival ~ Meet the (Indie) Authors.
She says, “Writing dark romance is what I love most. My stories don’t shy away from difficult truths, exploring themes many would rather avoid, including crime, murder, trauma, mental health, and both psychological and physical abuse.
My female characters are strong and resilient, reclaiming, or already knowing their worth, even when they don’t recognise it yet. My male characters are morally grey, blending danger with passion and devotion. The kind of men who would burn the world down for the one they love. I’m drawn to romances where love isn’t clean or easy, but earned, transformative, and deeply emotional.
I’m Influenced by gritty, character-driven storytelling and the sharp edge of Guy Ritchie, my writing weaves together darkness, loyalty, violence, vulnerability, and love. I write for readers who crave intensity and depth, and who believe that even after the worst, it’s possible to rise and choose yourself.
When I’m not writing, I’m usually walking my dog in the woods while plotting my next story, trying to stay healthy at the gym, or enjoying a glass of wine and a good old natter with friends.
My debut novel ‘The Sicuro’ was published on in March 2025, followed by ‘Ruin Me’ six months later. This is the first in The Oxford Series Trilogy.
My third novel. ‘Obey Me’, the second in The Oxford Series Trilogy. was published March 26..
The final instalment of The Oxford Series Trilogy is set to be published late September 26.”
