Auj asked Alexa Aston:

How long have you been writing for and what made you want to do it as a career?

Alexa Aston Thanks for your question, Audrey! I became serious about my writing several years ago and signed with a small press in 2013, publishing a few standalone romances with them. I always had an urge to tell stories from the time I was young, making up stories for my dolls and stuffed animals and later with my friends, giving them names and stories to act out. I had finished my teaching career and wanted to pursue another chapter in my life.

Since I enjoy reading series, I decided to try my hand at one and published the first of ten books in my Knights of Honor series in late 2016, wrapping up that series in 2018. Since that first medieval romance series, I've also written Regencies, western historicals, and even contemporary romance with my Hollywood Name Game series. I'm fortunate to have two publishers, Dragonblade Publishing and Oliver-Heber Books.

I write not only because it's creatively satisfying but because I want to entertain readers as so many wonderful authors have entertained me over the years. I love being swept away in stories, learning new things, being taken to far-off places as I become lost in reading. I'm thrilled I'm able to take readers on a journey in my various series.
