About the author

It's always a bit weird trying to sum myself up in a paragraph or two but here goes. I'm a father-of-three curious little humans who probably reflect various elements of my personality, full-time worker on the Thin Blue Line, adventurer in my own right and live for the escape of the outdoors where I can. Ever since I was young I enjoyed creative alternative worlds and stories and I suppose having now "apparently" grown up I can put it to use as an author.

I write to release my own over-active imagination and at the heart of everything is always the idea of adventure. I want my books to offer everyone the chance to escape form the everyday routines and things that niggle at us. In my books for younger audiences I want to nurture that sense of wonder, intrigue and adventure I remember growing up. In the older audience I want to reinvigorate that sense and offer a break from mortgages, bills, work and stress.

I'm not perfect, far from it in fact and all I am trying to do is make the best of what I have. For me, over the years, I've found out I carry a rare genetic deletion with unknown effects but seems to put me on the autism spectrum. Learning that helped me accept that the "quirkiness" of my nature is more acceptable than I had thought. Every story I write, every book I release I have seen in my head, acted out and watched as if it were a film. The way my brain works helps me do this and I only hope you find something you enjoy in my stories.

You’ll root for a reaper.

Sounds weird, I know. Tobey Alexander’s books always have a way of fully immersing you. This innovative take on ‘the afterlife’ had stunning architecture so well described you’ll feel these places truly exist. You become emotionally attached to the characters immediately. In fact, it’s a bit of a love story(surprise, surprise)which I’m a sucker for. But the most surprising, I never imagined I’d root for a reaper! Tobey somehow removes the stigma completely and reformulates them in an almost heroic light! What? Worth the read and full of action as always.

Well written, alot of detail and descriptives that help build the world as intended by the author. Very vivid imagary.

Very strong storyline, with a number of storylines running alongside the main Character. The author has developled well and this is one his best built 'Worlds'.

I don’t know why this one felt different (probably not what you think).

Enjoyed the heck out of this one. The pacing,…or something changed in my opinion. It just felt a bit different. I will enjoy getting used to it.
