Author Bio:
Roland Allnach has been
writing since his teens, but
did not actively seek
publication until 2007.
After working midnights at a
hospital for more than
twenty years, he has seen
and experienced life from a
different angle, a
perspective he brings to his
characters and stories.
Though he works with
different genres, both his
inspirations and aspirations
reside in classical
literature and in portraying
vivid characters in stories
that continue to satisfy on
repeated readings.
Roland has had numerous
short stories published, one
of which was a 2010 Pushcart
Prize nominee. He has since
shifted his focus to book
publication, starting in
2010 with Remnant.
This was followed in 2012
with Oddities & Entities,
Prism (2014),
The Digital Now and
The Writer's Primer
(both in 2015),
Oddities & Entities 2:
Vessels (2016), and
Angela's Arm (2019).
Together, his books have
been recognized with more
than a dozen national
literary awards, including
National Indie Excellence
Awards, Foreword Reviews
Book Awards, Pacific Book
Review Book of the Year
Awards, Feathered Quill Book
Awards, and USA Best Book
Book of the Year Awards.
Roland also served
four years as president of
Long Island Authors Group,
during which time he
conceived, built and managed
the group's Traveling
Bookstore. He now serves as
LIAG Event Coordinator and
has transformed the
Traveling Bookstore to a
permanent Bookstore in a
shared space with a local
arts group, Islip Arts
Council. He has also
conducted presentations at
local libraries and art
venues on
different aspects of writing
and publishing.
