Alanna Rusnak

    Alanna resides on a small, untamable plot of land in southwestern Ontario, accompanied by her three children, husband, and their vintage van. Immersed in classic Canadian fiction since childhood, her passion for words has been a lifelong pursuit, fueled by a persistent dream of crafting her own narratives. As evening descends, she retreats to her self-made study to weave tales of individuals, some drawn from reality, others mere inhabitants of her imagination.
