About the Author

Alexandra Thomas always knew that she wanted to write.  She left school at sixteen and became a cub reporter on a south London newspaper. She got all the worst jobs but her chief reporter, Victor Davies, taught her how to write. She worked her way up and eventually became chief reporter, the first woman chief reporter, the youngest and the only one who was pregnant.

After two years spent in Doha, Qatar, with her growing family, writing about deserts and sheikhs, she returned to Surrey, England, winning a prestigious national woman’s magazine competition.

She is currently writing two books, one set in Venice and the other set in Bali, both places which she loves.

Her home is full of books and photos of cats as she has been rescuing homeless cats for years.  She has just become president of the local operatic society.
