Well, hi! I’m Alex.

I’m just your average millennial parent whose childhood obsessions became adult ones. These days, I’m deep in my “healing my inner child” era, with three awesome (and wild) kids, not nearly enough cats, and a husband who shares my name (yes, it’s as funny as it sounds). Life’s chaotic in the best way.

Born and raised in sunny Phoenix, Arizona, I’ve never strayed far from my comfort zone. I grew up devouring books, scribbling stories, and gaming—heavy on the writing. The best part? I still have most of my early stories from grade school.

If you love books with authentic, imperfect characters—often anxious, beautifully human, and waving the LGBTQ+ flag—you’ve found your people. I write stories that spark growth, self-love, and the messy magic of being real.

Don't be shy. Come say hi (because chances are, I'll see you from afar, recognize you, and panic about being wrong 😂)!

Xoxo,

Alexis 💋
