Autorenporträt

Alexander, a dual citizen of the US and a former British colony, currently resides in the verdant Carolinas. Though often regarded as a quiet, reserved (not bashful) introvert, he comes to life during interesting one-on-one conversations. He loves and respects all animals and is tentatively training for his fifth (and final?) marathon, while continuing the creation of Robie's second excursion.
