Inspired by the often exciting highly imaginative conversations, sharp witted and entertaining anecdotes of the teenage students whom she educated during a long professional teaching career which included varying educational leadership posts, Alexis V turned her penmanship from marking assignments to a more electrifying pursuit, fiction writing. Alexis V writes from her study while overlooking a beautiful green tree-lined field which supports her creative thought. She lives in Suffolk, UK, is married and has two adult daughters. She enjoys cooking, reading and riding a tandem bicycle with her husband who obviously sits at the front.
