THE AURORA STONE: OREA CHRONICLES VOLUME ONE.

A COMING OF AGE FANTASY ADVENTURE. PUBLISHED BY COMIC UNICORN PRESS.

This will always be my first love when it comes to my writing.  This book turned my life upside down and I think for the better. 

It was all because of pregnancy hormones and a  reoccurring dream. It is really that crazy. I dreamed a dream and wrote it down. 

The Aurora Stone is a young adult fantasy novel. Set in the fictional realm of Orea, and the journey of a young female elf by the name of Evangeline or Eve for short.The story opens on the morning of Eve’s 18th birthday. A special day in the Elvish culture, a day that sees Eve attending a coming of age ceremony, which will bestow upon her an extra ability unique to her. Little does she know, that the ceremony will mark the start of a life changing series of events and along with a revelation from her mother, Eve is set on the path of adventure. Follow Eve as she travels through the five realms of Orea, battling foes, making new friends and acquiring companions along the way. With a host of supernatural beings to encounter and vast lands to discover, The Aurora Stone takes you on an emotional journey with magic, friendship and believing in the impossible.

LOVE YOU IN PIECES: MY 'UNDEAD' LIFE SERIES BOOK ONE

ROMANTIC COMEDY 18+ PUBLISHED BY COSMIC UNICORN PRESS

This  title makes me laugh. I laughed as I wrote it. That sounds a bit like an over inflated ego but when I tell you it is because I AM Ruby Jones, minus the undead part it will make a whole lot more sense. 

I didn't write this to be funny. I just sat down one day and started writing.  Gave it to some close friends who then told me it was funny.  So here she is Ruby Jones.


Hey there. I’m Ruby, I am twenty-five years old. I have red dyed hair, blue contact lenses that make my eyes pop, and I’m five foot seven inches tall. But those are just the stats. There’s something else you should probably know: I’m dead. Don’t freak out, technically, I’m undead. *** Ruby Jones’ new undead life sucks! She has no rights and a crappy job at a zombie-hating newspaper. Things aren’t great. That is, until she meets Luke Walker. Luke, an unlucky in love, geeky twenty-seven-year-old with a love for Buddy Holly glasses, is not at all pro-zombie. But fear not: That was before a cooking-for-singles night threw him and Ruby together and changed everything. When the two collide, there are accidents and murder, laughs and superglue; all making for an interesting ride. Can a zombie find love? Ruby is in pursuit of her happy ever after; because everyone—even the undead—deserves one, right? Is it possible to say I love you, in pieces?

A JOLLY ZOMBIE CHRISTMAS: MY 'UNDEAD' LIFE SERIES SEASONAL SPECIAL. 18+

FESTIVE SHORT STORY  PUBLISHED BY COSMIC UNICORN PRESS

Love you in Pieces was very well received and readers really wanted more of her. So for Christmas 2017 I wrote a festive short.  It was just for fun and it was nice to have her back in my life again. 

More books are planned in this series. I think she is here to stay.

I would like to say that my first Christmas as Ruby 2.0 zombie edition was a great success. I would also like to say that I managed the whole of the festivities without the need for medical intervention. However. This is me, and I am just not that lucky. Like the ghosts of Christmas past, I was treated to a reminder of all the reasons why I usually spend Christmas alone with a box of chocolates and Netflix. So, I welcome you to read my Jolly Zombie Christmas diary. Next year, I am not even getting out of bed. Ruby Jones from Love you in Pieces is back; and she hates Christmas. With this being her first as a zombie she is naturally very worried. With thrills and spills and a bucket of her own brand of Christmas cheer; follow Ruby as she embarks on her first Zombie Christmas

TWICE UPON A REALITY

REALITY SERIES BOOK 2. CO WRITTEN WITH ERIN LEE. PUBLISHED BY CRAZY INK.

After the first time I thought we were done. No,  we did it again, this time we had readers pick some of the tales and I tried something new. I went to the dark side.

I love this one even more than the first. Erin and I always have so much fun writing together. While making a big deal of our differences. My shorts are in UK standard English where as Erin's are in American. 

Happy endings are for the weak.

THIRD TIME'S A CHARM?

REALITY SERIES BOOK 3. CO WRITTEN WITH ERIN LEE. PUBLISHED BY CRAZY INK.

Our last co write in the series and I adore it. This time we kept to the same ideas as in the previous books and just let the stories have it. 

Working with Erin Lee was the most fun I have had with another author and It is bitter sweet that this series is at its end. 

I guess all good things really do come in threes. 


Good things - horrible ones too - come in threes and from both sides of the pond. 

International bestselling authors Erin Lee and Alana Greig take one last stab at the classics in this last book of their Once Upon A Reality Series. 

Six new tales, based on the classics, are about to get real.

This book can be read as a standalone.

BELLA CHEW CHEW. AN ALANA GREIG SHORT.

CRAZY FOOLS ANTHOLOGY. PUBLISHED BY CRAZY INK

Another great opportunity to be in a Crazy Ink anthology.  This one went in a new direction for me and like my short in Crazy About love, I was out of my comfort zone with the genre; but it was a lot of fun and my efforts pale in comparison to the authors who I share book space with.

CHOSEN. AN ALANA GREIG SHORT.

A DEADLY WORLD ANTHOLOGY:VAMPIRES IN PARIS. PRESENTED BY ENCHANTED ANTHOLOGIES.

I am a huge fan of vampire litrature. So when the open call for this anthology went live I just had to try. 

My short entitled Chosen was picked and it was the first anthology I have been in where the stories interlink. It was a new challenge for me.  The book is a real work of art with each authors' story weaving into each other. 


Presented by Enchanted Anthologies. A Deadly World: Vampires in Paris is book one of intertwined stories in the Paranormal, Dystopian trilogy. After the Vampires took over Earth in the great paranormal war, Humans have become second-class citizens - working as slaves, in brothels, as entertainers, or blood donors. In the heart of Paris. once known as the most romantic city on earth, humans have gone into hiding, gathering into groups and fighting back against the blood-sucking demons. Although, some have betrayed their friends to cozy up to the vampires and be in with a chance to turn into one themselves. The world is divided, and Vampires are on top - and there’s only one rule – You can’t fall in love with a human. Prologue by R. L. Weeks Chosen by Alana Greig After Paris Crumbled by Erin Lee Only Human by LJC Fynn Le Palais Royal by A. Maslo Blood Bonds by Alice La Roux The Twisted Sisters by K. L. Roth Waiting on Death by Chelsi Davis Surviving Paris by AJ Renee Defeated by Anke Van Zweel Vive La Resistance by Rita Delude

CAUGHT IN  THE ACT. AN ALANA GREIG SHORT.

A DEADLY WORLD: VAMPIRES IN NEW YORK. PRESENTED BY ENCHANTED ANTHOLOGIES.

Another Vampire anthology? I couldn't not try for it.  To have my short accepted in this was amazing. the authors in this one are so talented.  Caught in the Act  was tricky to write and this time as I was assigned a character and had to write about them. Again, this is a linked anthology so  making sure my events and geography lined up with my fellow authors was so important.  It is always a privilege to be in an anthology.


After the Vampires took over Earth in the great paranormal war, Humans have become second-class citizens - working as slaves, in brothels, as entertainers, or blood donors. 
New York, excluding London, is one of the last big cities to still be under vampire rule after the humans won against the Vampires in Paris. 
In the city that never sleeps, vampires thrive in their newfound freedom. Joseph, the leader of them all, holds up in the Empire State Building with his vicious daughter Sadie and the rest of the Hierarchy. Their biggest focus? HAV. 
Humans Against Vamps; an underground network of humans fighting back against the blood-sucking demons. However, some humans will do anything to become a vampire. Even betray their own kind. 
The world is divided and Vampires are on top. Who will come out on top?
