Kirkus reviews

This feels surreal!
Here’s the full Kirkus review for Vibrations – Children of Atlantis — I'm incredibly proud and grateful.

"Two extraordinary teens discover their hidden Atlantean heritage and face mythical trials to stop an ancient enemy in Alexander’s YA fantasy novel.

Nada appears at first glance to be a deaf teen living in quiet anonymity. She has always kept secret the rare gift she’s possesse Read more of this blog post »

A.R. Alexander answered Goodreads's question: What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book? The mystery would undoubtedly be the life, brief yet complex, of my brother, who was twenty-five when he died and much older than me. I was fifteen at the time, and only recently discovered that he likely took his own life—something he had already at See Full Answer
