Well damn! There’s so many new friends here so I thought I’d take a moment to reintroduce myself!
First of, I can’t tell you how much it means to see the excitement and anticipation for Consort of Stars. It has truly been an amazing experience seeing how excited you all are and I won’t lie I did shed a tear or two….. okay it was actually an entire bucket full. You guys are amazing❤️
Now, for those who are just joining in on the chaos, I’m Alana. I’m originally from jersey City NJ but I now reside with my cowboy of a husband in Pennsylvania. I am the author of Consort of Stars & The Unholy Trinity Trilogy.

Wow, it's truly amazing to see so many new friends joining this journey! I’m so thrilled to connect with all of you here, sharing a piece of my world and the stories I pour my heart into. It feels like such a vibrant community, and I'm genuinely excited to share more of what goes on behind the scenes, beyond just the books. You know, for the longest time, I was 'just a girl' doing hair in Jersey City, NJ. Who knew that path would eventually lead me to Pennsylvania, married life with a wonderful cowboy, and most surprisingly, to becoming an author! It's been quite the adventure, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. My background is a bit of a mix – Puerto Rican and Irish, a true LEO, and an INFP through and through. Maybe that’s why I’m such a dreamer and a bit of a pro-ghost hunter on the side! I also have 11 tattoos, each telling its own story, much like the characters in my books. Speaking of stories, my creative process is definitely... unique! If you could peek into my mind, it probably looks like a wild collage of memes, intense character art, and me probably looking a bit disheveled, fueled by coffee and pure imagination. I'm a self-proclaimed character art connoisseur, always seeking out inspiring visuals that help bring my fantasy worlds and their inhabitants to life. It’s not just about writing words; it’s about crafting entire universes. That passion is what drives 'Consort of Stars,' the first book in 'The Celestial Kingdom Series,' set to release on April 28, 2026, with Green Avenue Books. I'm pouring everything into making that world immersive and unforgettable. It's a journey filled with magic, intricate relationships, and twists you won't see coming. And for those who love a darker, more complex narrative, 'The Unholy Trinity Trilogy' dives deep into morally gray characters and intense supernatural elements. I truly believe there's something for everyone in these stories, whether you're into epic fantasy or a thrilling, darker saga. Being here on Lemon8 and connecting directly with readers like you makes this whole author journey even more rewarding. It’s incredible to hear your thoughts, answer your questions, and share little snippets of my life and creative process. This platform feels like a cozy corner of the internet where we can all nerd out over books, art, and just life in general. So, if you're looking for fantasy reads, author insights, or just a fun community to be a part of, stick around! I'm always here to chat and share more. What are you most excited to read next?
