I am the author of IN ALEXA'S SHOES, my debut novel. I was truly blessed to have such an amazing woman as my grandmother. Alexa was a Polish Christian, and we shared a special relationship, even though I was born in Scotland and only saw her during summer vacations when my mother took me to visit.

Over the years, we shared many hours of conversation and a deep bond of love. Alexa shared her harrowing life story with me, including when she was a teenager during WWII and captured by the Nazis. I promised her that I would write her story as a novel one day, and now I have.

It's a gripping read about the hardships she endured, but also a story of faith, hope, courage, love, and the resilience of the human spirit. Ultimately, Alexa's story is one of triumph over tragedy, with several unexpected twists you won't see coming. Alexa always chose love over hate, a valuable lesson we can all learn from, especially today!
