Rochelle Alexandra was born in Glasgow, Scotland, where she grew up, then moved to New York to live when she was eighteen. She had an early love for writing poetry, winning a national award and later had a few poems published in the USA.

She is a talented artist and photographer, with a real love for children, horse riding and travel. Her favorite jobs were in advertising agencies, working for a newspaper, a photographer's assistant and private chef. She ran her own freelance art business painting portraits, murals and abstracts.

Rochelle never set out to be a writer, but after hearing her Polish grandmother's gripping true life history during WWII, first-hand, she made a promise to her gran that she would write her story in book form one day. Sadly, her grandmother Alexa passed away two months before the novel 'In Alexa's Shoes' about her life was published, aged 92.

Currently, Rochelle Alexandra is writing the sequel to In Alexa's Shoes.

In Alexa’s Shoes – a dramatic, uplifting story of a teenage girl overcoming great odds to survive. A historical novel that beckons the reader to follow in the footsteps of a real-life individual one step at a time. Based on many of the true experiences of the author’s grandmother.

     In the autumn of 1940, thirteen-year-old Alexa’s happy life is ripped from her as she, her mother, and many of the locals are rounded up by the Nazis in Poland. Loaded onto trucks, they are transported to an unknown destination. Terror and uncertainty become the new normal. Life is a continuous nightmare as she is selected by an SS officer’s wife, destined to become little more than their slave.

     Separated from everyone she loves, Alexa relies on her Christian faith, inner strength and courage, to endure through her long nightmare. Her story takes her on a treacherous journey across war-ravaged Europe in search of her family and the life she once knew. Despite living through unimaginable hardships and life-threatening danger, Alexa feels that someone or something seems to be looking out for her. Years later, she finds out that not all was as it seemed, as hidden secrets from this dark period in history are revealed to her.
