Meet Alexa

Alexa Darin is an award-winning author who grew up in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, where she spent her summer days either horseback riding or lazing about at the beach with friends. She also spent considerable time crushing on the boy next door and believed he was the one she would someday marry. But first crushes rarely last into adulthood, and by the time Alexa was old enough to be more practical, she had other ideas about what she wanted to do with her life. From medicine to accounting to technical editing, Alexa finally settled on a career of writing romantic stories that make people laugh. Her books are known for their quirky characters, which she says makes sitting at a desk writing all day more fun than work. She credits her final career choice to that long-ago boy next door.

When not in writer mode, Alexa spends her leisure time hiking in the Alpine Wilderness or playing doorman to a couple of Labrador retrievers who are constantly plotting her demise.

Alexa enjoys crimson sunsets, freshly fallen snow, and alpha heroes. She believes if you’re lucky enough to find that special someone who makes your heart go pitter-pat, it’s like what you see in all those old Doris Day movies… You’ll twirl around with your face to the sky and break out in love song.

A mostly self-taught piano player, Alexa has finally given up on becoming a concert pianist.
