• More details about Alanna Rusnak

  Alanna Rusnak

  Alanna was born in the wrong decade and dreams of abandoning everything to live in a van and travel across Canada. She'll call it "a book tour," but it's really an excuse to unleash her inner hippie. A collector of typewriters and John Travolta VHS movies, she believes life is too short to not indulge in the things that bring you joy — and in keeping with that philosophy, she left a stuffy office job of 18 years to launch a full-time indie press out of a chicken coop on her childhood property. An author of literary and speculative fiction, Alanna likes to play in dark spaces, but always leaves room for redemption. Her latest novel is about burning down the world in order to set things right.
