Hi friends! Sorry for not checking in more often in February—truthfully, it was kind of a rough month for me. For whatever reason, be it the world or work or Mercury Retrograde or just my brain, I was really struggling through some low feelings and just didn’t feel up for much more than trying to get my work done. I started feeling better and had more energy just in time to get a terrible

“I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

“Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.”
Nora Ephron

“Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one’s life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one’s side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music, perhaps... perhaps... love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath.”

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF "DARKEST MINDS" AS A FILM???


message 30: by Brigit

Brigit Gabrielle As an author, could you give me some writerly advice? How do you start a book? I mean, I have so many ideas, but if the beginning isn't in sync with my story, the whole thing is off. Was it hard for you starting your books? Or does it just come naturally for you? Because I keep deleting my work, because it isn't working.


Ruthanne THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!AHHH! Thank sooo much for adding me.

P.Q. Glisson Hello Alexandra, fellow author and newly acquired friend.:)
Thanks for accepting my friend request.
Please take a moment to check out my profile page to see some of my current projects.

Thanks again and I put your book "Brightly Woven" on my TBR list.:) Her Sanctuary by P.Q. Glisson


Nicole Dreibelbeis Hi,
I really enjoyed Brightly Woven- it was so different from a lot of what I've read recently! I read mostly young adult, and often fantasy, but I was really impressed with how original the story was.I had to say hello because I also went to WM (tribe pride!) and was so excited when I discovered you went there too.
Looking forward to more great books from you in the future...keep making the 'burg proud!


Kellie O'Malley Alex I read your book at it was great!
