Alana started 605 Magazine with her husband, John (below), in 2009 after realizing content was lacking for younger males and females to connect with in the state. Now a statewide publication featuring arts and entertainment and those making a difference, she is living her dream. Alana also started a bi-annual Midwest wedding publication that is available in stores like Barnes & Noble called "Dainty Obsessions." When she’s not ripping out her hair from constant deadlines, she is either a.) watching Bravo, b.) eating Mexican food, or c.) napping with her English Bulldog and Boston Terrier, a.k.a. The Smooshed Face Mafia.
