Lana Pickering lives in Northumberland County, with her husband, son and crazy yellow lab, Mater. By day she diligently crunches numbers and provides support for many at the university in Oshawa. In her free time, she loves to write and fulfill her passion as a story teller. Lana reads and writes all she can, whether that is about romance, fantasy, or the things that inspire her. Rewriting Love is Lana’s first attempt at self-publishing, which she launched in June 2018. She wrote this story for her very first Nanowrimo writing project in 2016. Lana’s next romance novel is well underway and she is hoping to have that self-published in the fall of 2019. She also has a young adult and an adult fantasy novel in development.
