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.
