edit data

Alexandra writes mostly cosy fantasy, with a bit of contemporary romance on the side. Her debut novel THOROUGHLY DISENCHANTED won the Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Novel 2024.

She lives and works on Bunurong land in Melbourne (Naarm) with her tennis-ball obsessed Labrador, Captain. Before turning her hand to writing, previous roles included stablehand, clown, HR assistant, flower buyer, procurement manager, cleaner and human-centred designer, which is her current day job. She might have included footballer on that list if the AFLW had arrived three decades earlier; and if she had any ability. She likes trains, books, dogs and cups of tea. Her favourite colour is green.

A lovely insight into a culture I didn't know much about, but the story itself is a bit all over the place. I still don’t understand what the overall purpose is, what it's trying to get across. So many themes! I'm all for intersectionality but... ...more

Absolutely glorious and heartwarming and lovely. I wish I’d written it ❤️. Sera was an incredibly powerful teenage witch who lost most of her magic by overdoing it with a spell to bring her aunt back to life. She’s now running a magical inn and has t ...more

Openly gay professional tennis player at first grand slam, meets much more famous and not openly gay player. Shenanigans ensue. I glommed the first half—pacing is great, characters believable, snappy dialogue—but it all fell apart for me later in the ...more

Another delightful Heyer-but-gayer romp from the master KJ Charles. Slightly sweeter than her norm—neither of the romantic leads are complete bastards and nobody dies—which completely fits my current mood. Devoured it in a night and just settling in ...more
