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.

I was always going to love this (the sequel to Swordheart!) but isn't it just the best when your book expectations are exceeded? The Dervish is delightful and an older, wiser Learned Edmund is someone I would die for. Despite the setup being the same ...more

Terrific to pick up the story of Fiona and Satoshi after getting hints of it in An Academic Affair (this is standalone, but I’d recommend reading the first one anyway because it’s excellent). It starts with a bang; I absolutely love the way we get th ...more

A re-read of one of my favourite books. Loved it just as much the xxxth time around.

This is so good! A retelling of the Gévaudan legend with all the drama but also funny and full of feels. The narrator is possessed by a delightfully wicked demon (although they both prefer the term "joined") and there's a sarcastic succubus housemaid ...more

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

Full confession: I skipped the "interludes" because I found them boring. DON'T DO THAT! They're critical to the plot. As a result, I don't think I can give this book a fair hearing. ...more

Magic School shenanigans but from the perspective of a middle-aged teacher, focussing more on the mundane side of teaching and admin than the magic. Kind of a juxtaposition of "Magic: how cool!" and "Magic: so much admin". Thoroughly enjoyable! Also ...more

Just as much fun as the first one. Our heroines Gwen (knight) and Isobelle (lady) are travelling the country slaying monsters and not talking about what's happening between them. The not-talking got a bit repetitive—miscommunication is my least favou ...more

Ari and Judah are navigating the Orthodox Jewish dating scene with very different approaches; Judah doesn't hook up and Ari has no interest in settling down. Opposites attract and it's highly entertaining and absolutely swoonworthy. I am, however, a ...more
