“Despite the solitude, writing is connection. That’s why I write—and why I read.” — Alana Highbury
Meet the Author: Alana Highbury
I’m the author of the holiday romances Snowed In on Valentine's Day, Meet Me on Christmas Eve, and Dance with Me on New Year's Eve. I've also written a trio of Jane Austen-inspired novels releasing in 2025. My novels blend contemporary romance, rom-com, and women’s fiction. When I’m not writing, you can usually find me reading, playing board games, cross stitching, or hanging out with my family, which includes a writerly husband, two children, two beautiful, lazy cats, and a feisty cockatiel.
I have worked in professional writing and editing roles for two decades, but I’ve been an avid fan of romance fiction even longer. In addition to master’s and bachelor’s degrees in English, I hold active memberships in Contemporary Romance Writers and other professional organizations. As a Wisconsin native, I want to contribute to the growing number of romance novels set in the Upper Midwestern U.S.
