Hi! I'm Rhana. I tell stories.
In fact, I can't remember a time when I wasn't telling stories. From the adventures of a stick-figure baby princess* to award-winning** technical documentation and a novel, I've been a storyteller of some kind or other nearly all my life. Now as an actress and model, I tell other people's stories, too.
Everybody has a story. Our lives are comedic tragedies with a twist ending we never see coming. Oscar material, every one. We just need the courage to tell our story, and someone to listen. So what's my story? Well, every story starts with a logline... When a socially awkward, middle-aged mother of three enters an international talent competition and wins, can she overcome a lifetime of self-doubt to make her childhood dream come true? So far so good. And thanks for listening. * She was always being kidnapped by a witch. I was five and heavily influenced by The Wizard of Oz. ** Several decades later, my technical writing won two Awards of Excellence and three Awards for Merit from the Society for Technical Communication. A very early draft of my as-yet unpublished novel Godsong (then titled Harmony) placed second in the Science Fiction/Fantasy/Horror category of the 2003 Authorlink International New Author Awards Competition. But it all started with the adventures of that stick-figure baby princess. |
