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.

Alt-history regency romance where the Duke is a woman. A very powerful, strong willed, cold woman with a dark past, who falls in love with an entrancing courtesan escaping the French revolution. Intriguing premise and a good read.

Not a romance! I mean, the crux of the story is a romance, but it doesn't fit the genre mold and is much darker than usual from Alexis Hall. An emotional rollercoaster of a read, Thomas and Micha are gorgeous deep flawed characters and I love them bo ...more
