"If you can tell stories, create characters, devise incidents, and have sincerity and passion, it doesn't matter a damn how you write."--Somerset Maugham

Alayna-Renee is a professional freelance author, ghostwriter, and retired performer living in Southern California. Despite calling Atlanta home for over a decade, she still retains the sarcasm and the blunt charm that betrays her Northeastern upbringing, and is now exploring California zen and sunglasses . Wattpad Ambassador Alum and editor/reviewer in countless communities over the years. 

Alayna has never lost her child-like sense of adventure, her enthusiasm for theatre, vintage fashion, costuming, glitter, chocolate, martinis, travel, and refusing to wear a pair of socks. Hobbies include reading, writing, fashion, reality TV (and yes, she almost appeared on one of those shows), music, singing, acting, movies, video games that immerse her imagination, mail art, Etsy, RPing with friends,and recently, discovering podcasts.

Alayna started her writing journey as a popular and successful blogger back in the early 2000's, so sharing thoughts and feelings online is nothing new. She's explored many venues for creativity since then. She's created content for virtual worlds and video games, ghostwritten stories and novels, and written scripts for both audio and video performance. It is a lifelong dream of hers to tell an entire story worth remembering.

She holds a B.A. in Musical Theatre with a minor in Creative Writing. She lost her love, partner, and best friend of over a decade, @willjra, on 07.29.20. 

Alayna is an author of dark fantasy, Gothic fiction, historical drama, twisted romance, tasteful erotica, old-fashioned poetry, and paranormal elegance. Her most successful book, "Immortally Beloved" is the first book in the saga of an unforgettable female vampire from the time of the French Revolution.

Highest rankings, awards, and general bragging lurk within the books.
