Alison Neuman

No one ever expected Alison Neuman to live past the age of three, let alone become a successful author and performer.

Now, an inspirational figure, Neuman has never let the painful disease she suffers with, dermatomyositis, dictate what she can and cannot achieve in her life.

An award-winning writer, singer and choreographer, Neuman has even done dance performances with CRIPSiE in Alberta, Canada. Along the way, she has become a university graduate, earning a diploma in professional writing and a degree in communications from MacEwan University, and a Master of Arts Degree from Athabasca University, despite being told she'd never amount to anything.

Ice Rose a Young Adult Spy Novel is an adventure for readers who believe in their dreams and want to live the life of secret agent.

Searching for Normal is her memoir and anthem to anyone who is suffering through sickness or obstacles that seem too impossible to overcome.

The Friends and Family series is for families who want to share in the journey of Fluffy the cat and Levi the mouse as they explore diversity, acceptance, friendship, and kindness.

"You can and will achieve life's greatest dreams," Neuman says, "if you take it one step at a time; even if that step is while you navigate via a wheelchair."
