Alex worked for many years as an academic and later in the NHS as a therapist. Initially she wrote academic papers before branching out into fiction writing. Alex joined her local writing group Walton Wordsmiths nearly fifteen years ago and the group is still going strong. Here she found companionship, inspiration, encouragement and a group of likeminded friends. She writes because she feels inspired… the novel wants to be written, although she often has no idea where the ideas come from, it’s like a stream of consciousness! Each novel takes Alex at least a couple of years to complete. She has now written three novels. The first two have already been published by SCRIPTORA, in association with the Society of Women Writers and Journalists (SWWJ). The third ‘The Asymmetric Man’ was published on 23d November 2023 – also by SCRIPTORA. Ironically, ‘The Asymmetric Man’ is the first in the trilogy, but the last to be published. ‘The Girl at Conway Place’ and ‘Sunrise at An Lac’ come next.
