Author, Editor and The Intrigue Queen Of  Thriller Fiction

Bio

Introduction

Alana Woods is The intrigue queen of thriller fiction, Alana is an award winning author and she’s also a Professional editor for over 30 years. Her novel Automaton, won the Australian Fast Books Prize for Best Fiction in 2003. It was also nominated by Sisters In Crime for the 2004 Davitt Award, which is for the best Australian female crime fiction for the year.

Bio

I was a 10 pound Pom, emigrating from the UK to Australia with my parents and two older brothers in 1951. It was over 40°C when we landed and my mother later said she had wanted to get on the first boat back home. The photo shows us on The Asturiasen route via Russia in November 1951. I’m the one with the doll.I was a month short of four when the boat docked and six when my sister was born. My parents bought land in the coastal wilds of Seaview Downs, South Australia, about an hour out from Adelaide and for the next 15 years I explored my way through school and books, the beach and books, roaming as far as my feet and bike would take me in a day, and books. As you can see, Seaview Downs was pretty desolate in those days. We lived in the caravan until dad built something a little more permanent. There were two adults, a teenager, two youngsters and a new baby in that caravan!In 1966 I met John, the Gawler boy to top all boys, married him the next year, and the year after that had twins, Simone and Simon. We get ribbed about that all the time, mostly from the twins themselves. You can see from the wedding photo that I was a Mod. Mine and my bridesmaids outfits were considered very radical.Three years later Nicole joined the team. For a moment the doctor thought she was twins too, and we joke with her now that it would have been Nicole and Nicholas. You can imagine the derision the kids aim our way!In 1980 we packed our bags and moved to Canberra to further mine and John’s careers.Until I left full-time work in February 2004 I was a professional editor and eventually became Director of Publishing at the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. The photo to the right shows me at Parliament House with the Chairman, Prof Allen Fels, the day the ACCC came into being.In 2004 John and I moved to the Sunshine Coast, spending five years there before moving back to Canberra because we (read into that I) missed the family.

We now spend part of our time in the UK with Simone, who lives in West Sussex with her husband and three young children. That’s me with my oldest UK grandson at Worthing, a beachside town just along the coast from Brighton. We had fish and chips for lunch.My fiction work includes two published novels, both literary suspense, and a collection of short stories.My non-fiction work includes two works. One is a guide to writing good fiction: 25 essential writing tips: guide to writing good fiction. The second is a family medical history diary in which you can keep a record of everything of a medical nature that happens in your family.My first novel, Automaton, won the Australian Fast Books Prize for Best Fiction in 2003. It was also nominated by Sisters In Crime for the 2004 Davitt Award, which is for the best Australian female crime fiction for the year. The story was inspired by my five years working with the Commonwealth Court Reporting Service in Canberra during which I spent many a day in the Supreme Court recording the agonies of those unfortunate enough to be in the dock and their families, who would watch and usually suffer in silence. The photo shows me at the award presentation with the ABC’s Peter Ross, who was the judge.Automaton, with a new cover, was re-released in October 2011.My second novel, Imbroglio, is literary espionage suspense. It was released in October 2011.In mid-2011 Simone mentioned that she was preparing to publish two journals for the home (click here to see them). It prompted John to say that ever since the children were small he had thought that a journal in which you could record all of your family’s medical history would be really useful. After recovering from my surprise that it had taken him so many years to mention it I decided to publish Family medical history. It’s a departure from my novels, but one I hope will be enthusiastically received.I’ve been working on a third novel, Dragline; literary suspense with a corporate law theme this time. I finished the first draft ages ago but not being happy with it I put it aside to think about. However, I think it’s time to get back into it.

My Journey

I am a former bi-vocational pastor and contractor.  I was the President and founder of Home Innovations, a Design/Build remodeling firm based in Fishersville, Virginia. We provided design, construction, and fine furnishing services for the home. Beginning in 2010, I pastored a new Heartlink Network church plant in Nelson Co. Virginia called Riverbank.

For years my career and work has centered around construction.  I have always enjoyed working with my hands, but honestly I found my way to construction by default.  I had spent time in summer jobs (that paid better than fast food), church youth group mission projects, and one year serving with Habitat for Humanity, and family projects and learned some skills.  So when I got married, and I needed to provide for our family, I naturally went into construction because it was the only marketable skill that I had.  Through the years I moved from general laborer, to carpenter, and then from foreman to contractor / business owner.

But life has not always been filled with success.  In 2009, the business that I had founded and ran, Home Innovations, failed in bankruptcy.  It was one of the most difficult seasons of my life.  There were a lot of reasons for what happened, some outside of my control.  But, I was the one leading.  I was the one “at the helm when the ship went down.”  I was embarrassed, felt like a failure, and felt like I had let everybody down.  The affects were far reaching, hurting my employees, suppliers, friends and family.  For month’s I struggled with feelings of failure, worthlessness, and hopelessness.  Over the next few years I went through the slow process of healing and rebuilding my career and life.  Therefore, I have a special place in my heart for those who are trying to get back on their feet after a crisis event.  I know first hand how difficult those seasons of life can be.

Ever since I was young, I have sensed a call to pastor and help people.  I studied pastoral ministry at Liberty University and then received my Biblical Studies Certificate from Cornerstone Bible Institute.  My wife and I spent a few years in youth ministry until our twins were born and we shifted our focus to our young family.  In 2008 we started sensing a call to pastoral ministry again and began the process of relocating our family to Nelson County, VA .  Over the next 5 years we gave leadership to the establishment of the Riverbank church. During this time, I also worked bi-vocationally as the Production Department Manager for Integrity Home Contracting in Charlottesville, VA.

In 2013-14 God led me on a journey to personal and relational health that resulted in me resigning from both Integrity Home Contracting and the Riverbank church.  During this season I worked as independent construction consultant and business consultant for construction companies.  I also took this time to rest, spend time with my family, and discern my direction and God given destiny.

As a result of this journey I launched this blog in 2014 as the first step of encouraging ordinary people to fulfill their destinies through writing, coaching and speaking.

About me Personally

I met my beautiful bride during high school.  We are both pretty strong willed and had to “chill out” a little before we started dating after high school.  We were married shortly after in 1996.  We have four amazing daughters (Twins in the middle).  They are teenagers and learning to spread their wings.  I love this season of family life.

I enjoy working with my hands, being outdoors, carpentry projects, gardening and homesteading.  I believe in simple sustainable living and taking care of the wonderful earth that has been entrusted to us.

I love sports and cheering on my favorite teams…. the Atlanta Braves, Liberty Flames Football, and UVA Cavaliers basketball.

And finally, after all these years in construction, I still like my pick-up truck and power tools.  And, I am most comfortable in my jeans and a baseball cap!

BRIAN MININGER “THE CONSTRUCTION COACH”

I am passionate about building. I started building forts and tree-houses as child, graduated to summer jobs in the construction field, and then worked my up from a carpenter’s helper to a Class A Contractor. Now I use my passion for building to help others realize the dream of owning a home that meets their needs and desires without creating undue financial bondage.
