About Me



Full Name: Miss Alanna Johan Blaney.

In Description: A mental peruser of prose, driven inexplicably to share her verbal vindication verbatim with all who care to read it.

Documenting a life of using words to make her world a better place.

(Read: A Writer)

Previous publications include Writing Magazine, Future Voices Anthology, and Crannog Magazine, amidst other independent publications.

Scattered liberally amidst self-portraiture (for vanity is a terrible curse), a small collection of words, unintended for other publication or free from copyright, can be found here: DeviantArt .

Website coming soon. In the mean time, solicitations, enquiries, criticism, praise and perversions to be directed to the following email: [email protected]
