About the Author
© MARTY PILATO
Born and raised in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, and still living in southwestern Ontario, Alana Somerville is a mother of two, a teacher, and a real estate sales representative. Never one to sit still, when she isn’t teaching, she can often be found with her children at a hockey arena or at a dance rehearsal or on a soccer field. She also enjoys the outdoors and tries to get outside whenever possible.
Her children are her number one priority, and her drive for life is greatly inspired by them.
