About the author
Alex R. McGrath
5 books1 followerHello! I'm Alex McGrath from PA. I worked on "ALL THE SAME SONGS" for a little over three years before it was finally ready to come out. I always say it made me go sort of crazy because working on it changed my mindset forever. But it was really for the best. What a journey. Here is a short description:
After he and his friends’ botched robbery of a local bingo game leaves one patron dead, eighteen-year-old James Reed leaves his hometown and the girl he loves as he desperately tries to escape the police.
While in hiding James reflects on the past year and on his life as a whole as he tries to figure out how he got to this point, and how he could have changed things.
“ALL THE SAME SONGS” documents the downfall of a young man who has slowly lost his hope for the future over the past six years.

My other big literary project is my second novel, "SOMEDAY THIS WILL BE IN A MUSEUM" Here is a short description of that one:
It has been over a year since her family’s heartbreaking move from their beachfront hometown, and 11-year-old Melody McDougal is still struggling to make sense of the abrupt and mysterious departure.
After being scorned and bullied in her new city for her tireless work ethic and high intelligence, Melody was transferred to another school after the end of her fifth grade year. Left feeling alienated, the young girl begins sixth grade both scared and desperate, constantly yearning for the kind of genuine friends she had back home.
Melody’s diary offers a view into the heart and mind of a lonely girl who is desperate to fulfill the vicarious dreams of her loving but demanding mother.
Expecting nothing short of spectacular academic success, Mrs. McDougal spends her days molding her daughter into the child prodigy that she wishes she could have been herself.
Her ambitions for Melody go far beyond straight A’s as she also eyes the capture of a national prize and the cash reward that comes with it.

For fun I play Ultimate Frisbee, basketball, poker, video games... I go on walks, bike rides, and of course, I read. I also play drums and dabble with keyboard and guitar. I miss a lot of people and I'm inspired by the haunting memories I have of them. Anything else you want to know, just ask.
