Program Description

Event Details

Meet author Alexandra Grace and hear how she balances a real life with her passion, writing. She will give tips on self publishing and making your way in the literary world. Alexandra's books will be available for purchase and signing. 

Alexandra Grace started writing emotional poetry as a teenager but publishing a novel that made readers feel and appreciate was her dream. It wasn't until her 40s that Alexandra fulfilled that dream, and she had so much fun, that her first novel evolved into a series. She likes to combine her respect for military service men and women with her heartfelt approach to storytelling. All her novels are heartwarming, sweet with heat stories that give lovable veteran heroes the happy ever after they deserve.

Alexandra lives in Virginia with her family and is a proud full-time public servant for a local government. She enjoys reading, binge watching action TV series with her husband, and being her kids' biggest cheerleader.

She is currently working on completing The Journey Series with book 4. The final book will give closure and a happy ever after to two more of Jackson's friends. Then, it's on to a new series!
