Writer.
She
writes.
Alexandra writes character driven, contemporary fiction perfect for book groups who drink wine, or café groups who drink coffee, or for neighbours who chat standing at their front gates while the cold things in their shopping slowly melt.
Her stories are about the way people just try to get on and live their lives, and the complications this causes for them and everyone around them.
She finds the consistently fraught interactions between parents and children to be an endless source of inspiration. She finds the consistently wonderful and complex interactions between females to also be an endless source of inspiration. She finds the consistently pleasant and uncomplicated interactions between men to be incomprehensible and therefore absolutely fascinating…and also a source of inspiration.

Author
bio.
Alexandra was born on a dusty shore of the island of Australia. As an adult her adventurous spirit took her off to Switzerland so she could experience just how uncomfortable life can be when you don’t speak the language of the people around you.
Not really!
They were just talking about what everyone talks about, weather, traffic, their annoying mother-in-law, how expensive food is… that sort of thing.
Loves
lots.
Hmm’s
about.
Her writing
process.
However, she will adapt to writing in a cafe with her earpods in while typing on a laptop, if she can sit next to a window and ogle cute babies in prams as they are pushed passed by their tired parents, who probably all need a nice escapist bit of fiction and a strong coffee.
