A R AlexanderI'm an Italian-born writer now living in the south of England with my husband, our three kids, and a dog who thinks he's the boss (he might be right). I used to work as a psychologist, but these days I spend my time writing Young Adult fiction in bot English and Italian, blending mythology, adventure, and a touch of sci-fi.I've lived with dyslexia and ADHD my whole life. For years, I often felt like I wasn't good enough or like I had to work twice as hard just to keep up. But those challenges shaped me. They taught me resilience, creativity, and how to think outside the box. Looking back, I'm proud of the path I've taken and everything I've learned along the way. That journey now feeds into the stories I write and the characters I create, many of whom carry pieces of my own experience.If someone had told me 30 years ago that I'd become a psychologist, or even more surprisingly, a writer, I would have laughed out loud. But here I am. I graduated, I published a book, and I'm about to publish two more.My second novel, Vibrations - Children of Atlantis, is out now, and I'm currently working on the sequel. I'm also part of a literary project to rediscover and share the voices of forgotten Italian women writers, because no good story deserves to be lost. Read More Read Less
